document.write("For you to drop the ball you are indeed implying that you (a) were in possession of said ball to start off with or (b) regained it after dropping it before.<br />I am sad to say that SASCOC, on all counts, can not tell the difference from between their behinds and their elbows...let alone being able to recognize a ball.  So, dropping the ball?  They never had one to drop.. Vlam");

document.write("Is sascoc dropping the ball? We'll if there were any balls to drop i'm sure that they have and now have offically ruined the Olymics & Paralymics for all those who were there to represent our country...  who is the dumbass who actually comes up with these outfits..are they clueless or just plain stupid!  Umm...maybe they should let designers do the designing and leave the rest up to someone who actually might know what they are doing!  My 16 & 13 yr olds have better dress sense.. Ashsa");

Therefore no design experience for the clothes, corruption in awarding the contracts. The fat cats of sacoc surely stayed in five star hotels ...

document.write("I could joke and laught about it but as a proud Chinese with a soft spot for South Africa it makes me sad reading this article.  Whoever is to blame is not important to me, let’s create light instead of heat.  I am in China and I am willing to help, if necessary I will pay for the hotel bill of du Toit to move her closer to the venue or buy decent kit for Pistorius. . H.Man");

document.write("It seems that there is a total lack of proper communication. Maybe Pistorius acted out of pure plain despair because he only gets \"blank stares\". I we then are a so called 3rd world country now , we won't get any further by trying to find excuses for shortcomings instead of consentrating on the job they are there  for. To us readers it sounds and looks like the management is to blame but what is the whole story ?. Nico");

They must be so hassled and for some ungrateful athlete to question out loud what is happening - sies!! Seriously it is unfortunately another awful example of administrators grabbing first and the athletes getting what is left.. croc");
