Jayasuriya, 40, has been picked in the one-day squad as an allrounder who can bat down the order and bowl left-arm spin. "What we expect from Sanath is that he should win one in three games for Sri Lanka, which he was doing in the past," Ashantha de Mel, Sri Lanka's chairman of selectors, said in Colombo. "But now that has reduced and we are a little concerned about it. In the Champions Trophy in South Africa his performance was below par .That's the reason why we have gone in with the option of playing him as an allrounder."

Kudos to Tamilnadu CM to give monetory help to santhi. lets think rationally for a minute. why do these rules exist? to prevent someone taking unfair advantage in a race. the question now is – do people with Androgen insensitivity syndrome(AIS) have unfair advantage over normal women. if yes, then its quite simple – they can only compete with males. but it may be difficult to determine how much of an advantage, people with partial AIS have over normal women. so until we figure that out, have to make AIS folks compete only with men

One wonders about the emotional damage done to young female athletes by this investigation. I read that Santhi attempted to commit suicide. Perhaps that psychologist will be needed after all.

]]> Comment on Why the Yanks hate Football (oops..soccer) by anonymous http://sportsnob.wordpress.com/2006/08/20/why-the-yanks-hate-football-oopssoccer-2/#comment-6843 anonymous Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:43:07 +0000 https://sportsnob.wordpress.com/2006/08/20/why-the-yanks-hate-football-oopssoccer-2/#comment-6843 I would have to disagree, I had the same impression till i saw an American Football game live in the states. Every position has to have a commanding degree of footwork and lower body strength. The linemen are kinda like martial artists in that where they have there feet placed can effect how well they block an opposing player, a wide receiver has to be able to turn sharply running at full speed and dodge opposing players, and a running back has to have enough leg strength to push through a group of players. I think that yanks would be more open to REAL Football if the sport had more influence, I noticed the average American is actually very open and curious about whats going on in Europe.
