I read this (https://owa.learnsheffield.com/OWA/redir.aspx?C=fd7c3e3e19414176bb74918294effb0a&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.bbc.co.uk%2fnews%2fscience-environment-16630588) article about how the Olympic anti-doping lab has been unveiled as the most high tech ever. I chose to read this article as I'm a keen lover of sport, so it caught my eye and I decided that it'd be a good idea to write a blog entry about. As a lover of sport, I think that all sports and all sports people, should be honest and be trusted not to take steroids or any other drug, but that isn't always possible, so they've unveiled a lab in Essex that's the size of about seven tennis courts, that they're going to use to try and stamp out drugs and banned substances in the games. I think that having this lab, will be of great use during the Olympics because the owners and sponsors GlaxoSmithKline who have donated £20 million so that the lab can be open and running twenty four hours a day. I think this is a really cool science article because it's showing that one hundred and fifty anti-doping scientists will be flown in from all over the world, just so that it's all done fairly and equally. I also liked the article because even though it doesn't say what's going to happen with the lab after the Olympics, it still shows that England is doing it's best to stamp out the substances and they're not over exaggerating that there won't be any people caught at all, they're saying that there will most likely still be people who do take the banned substances, but they'll be able to find more of the people who do it and more of the athletes whether they've won or not will be tested.
