A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (Locked down several times a year during the major championships)
What the fuck are you talking about now? And why is suicide at all relevant to this thread at all? I'll answer that for you. It isn't.
Your preposterous theories probably include the belief that troubled Brits and historically-associated country folk sometimes commit suicide by whacking themselves in the head with a cricket bat
I get the strange feeling you dont read anything I actually write. You simply respond to it as if i wrote something that clearly exposed my pen was a felonious weapon or worse that I slandered the sport of cricket . For the record I would like to plead not guilty to both of those charges .

Testis compositum was the substance found at the home that was initially said to be steroids. It is sometimes used as a male enhancement drug.
Oscar Pistorius' representatives named the substance found in his bedroom after the shooting death of his girlfriend as Testis compositum on Wednesday and said it is an herbal remedy used "in aid of muscle recovery."
A product called Testis compositum is also marketed online in both oral and injectable forms as a testosterone booster and a sexual enhancer. Some online retailers also say it can be used to treat tiredness.
Pistorius' lawyers, through his public relations firm, did not give details as to whether the product they named was the same one marketed in the U.S. as a sexual enhancer with pig testicles, pig heart and pig embryo among its ingredients. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ol ... d/1951159/
Also, we should keep in mind that it's only Pistorius' lawyers who are stating that the substance was Testis compositum. The official police lab analysis report of the substance in Pistorius' vials and syringes hasn't been released yet... And even if Testis compositum is marketed as a male enhancement product, it doesn't necessarily have to contain a substance that's currently banned, as Daisy already pointed out.

Cricket? What is there to slander. Only the Brits would invent a game that you can play for 5 days and still not get a result.

One of the many "ingredients" of Testis Compostium, although usually legal, is prohibited if injected. He does, though, have more serious offences to worry about!

For my own knowledge and information, can you tell me what ingredient it would be, and whether it's also prohibited out of competition as well as in competition? Does it involve the tiny amount of anabolic steroids in the diluted pig testicles extract? (If so, wouldn't that be prohibited via oral use too?) (Below is the link to the diluted ingredients contained in Testis compositum injection.)
I watched the ABC 20/20 "The fast times of Oscar Pistorius" on YouTube. Interesting. Sad. And IMO reinforces the paranoia schizophrenia mentalities of the guy. Hope he goes away for a long time.

There still has not been enough facts to say he's either paranoid or schizophrenic, but if he's a paranoid schizophrenic based upon his gun ownership then it runs in the family. I will stick with the avid gun owner for now.
The gun collectors' club, the Lowveld Firearm Collectors Association, which the runner joined last April said Pistorius also owned but hadn't yet licensed six other firearms for his gun collection. South Africa's Beeld newspaper reported that the runner's father, three uncles and grandfather also own 55 firearms between them -- ranging from handguns to rifles. "Some of the guns are for hunting and some are for protection, the hand guns," the Telegraph quoted Henke Pistorius as saying.
it obviously won't change anybody's mind on anything, but for an insightful look into the gun culture, read the linked book review (or the whole book, if you''re of a mind).
<<...Guns, like abortion, are seen by some as a life-or-death issue that merits careful regulation, and by others as a matter of personal freedom and constitutional right. Each camp makes little attempt to understand the other, much less to compromise.
That could soon change, as the gun issue is about to find a new ambassador in Dan Baum. A self-professed "gun guy," the former New Yorker staff writer is far from a stereotypical gun nut. He's an urban Jew whose liberal views on everything but guns align with those who abhor firearms the most...>>
O.P. may be paranoid but he definitely is not Schizophrenic! No Schizophrenic could advance to such a high level of competitive sportsmanship and public view and be in a hallucinatory or delusional (both symptoms of Schizophrenia) state. Perhaps the use of the word is being confused with the medias use of the word to mean "dual personality" which Schizophrenia is not.
Paranoia? Schizophrenia? both admittedly debatable in terms of traits for Pistorius.
But the trait of "shame". Pistorius' latest approach to the Court shows the guy has no shame at all. If his killing of Reeva was truly an act of mistaken identity and he was truly remorseful the guy would not be challenging his bail conditions and demanding his passports be returned so he can travel overseas.
Close friend Mike Azzie, who Pistorius refers to as Uncle Mike, said the sportsman was a "broken man" after he was tasked with selling his racehorses to raise money to pay for spiralling legal fees.
But they have to have a meet. But you are right, the guy has been charged with murder, and yet, the courts are saying, go run in Zurich, or maybe even Pre! I could see gh announcing that one. "In lane 2 with the ball and chain...."
This whole thing does seem a bit insane. And this is the guy currently soaking up a huge portion of the media's (very limited) attention to track and field. What a gift to the world.

Yes, for awhile cycling had overtaken track for the reputation as the dirtiest sport. (And since its fan base is about .00001% that is easy for sport pundits.) But now we have OP.
Imagine if OJ was still playing football while on trial....
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which is the body responsible for the World Championships, told BBC Sport he would be "free to run" in Moscow in August on the "basis of the 'innocent until proven guilty' principle".
But the Brits have lost interest....
However, Nova, who organise the Manchester City Games, to be held on 25 May and which Pistorius pulled out of, said there were "no plans to invite him over".

Last week a guy in central Wisconsin shot his girlfriend to death. Yes, you guessed it, he mistook her for burglars. What a wonderful inspiration Oscar Pistorius is.

Now, Pego, in all fairness, I don't know if we can blame OP (pronounced Opie!) for that, unless he shot her through a closed bathroom door. "Someone is stealing my dental floss!" Americans shooting neighbors, friends, relatives, etc. thinking---or perhaps hoping---they were a burglar has been a regular constant in this country for quite a while.

I hope he's ou on bail with his passport in his possession, just in case he wants to go on his hols or something

Sheriff Andy Taylor would never have applied for bail for Opie, even if Opie had shot a Mayberry skunk. I hope that no meet promoter would sink so low as to fall to the temptation of the dollar by inviting Pistorious to compete.
. For the record I would like to plead not guilty to both of those charges
