Best Non-Scandal: Touch wood, so far very few failed drugs tests.
Honourable mention: 'Plastic Brits'. After all the fuss about certain British sports trawling far and wide to grab other countries' athletes, in the end, the most notorious of the Plastic Brits did bugger all. 100m hurdler Tiffany Porter who switched from the country of her birth to the country of her mother's birth because she couldn't get into the US team, didn't even make the final. And to rub salt into the wound, Jessica Ennis broke her 'British' record in the 100m hurdles race of the heptathlon. Freestyle wrestler Olga Butkevych (who received British citizenship days before the selection deadline and was only in this country supposedly to spar with the British wrestlers) didn't even make it out of the first round. And best of all, Cuban triple jumper Yamile Aldama, who was competing for her third nation after pimping her sporting services to Sudan for six years, and whose only connection to this country was that she married a Scottish drug trafficker (currently serving fifteen years at Her Majesty's pleasure), only finished fifth. All of which means that there is no need to feel guilty that any of Great Britain's medals really belong to another country.
