There is no shortage of stories where a small business person has been hit with tens of thousands or more of legal costs from their own lawyers.Then there is the potential of having to pay for the other sides legal costs if the small business person loses

You know, Steve Zeigman predicted this domination back in 2005.

It was a pretty obvious prediction. It's not exactly unheard of for the host country spending extra extra effort and money to make a statement at their own Olympic Games, combined with the fact that China was already near the top of the standings = lots of gold

I can predict in 2008 that in London 2012 Britain will not win any gold medals in weightlifting!

I find it strange that while other 'top' athletes have been feeling the effects of increased doping China has walked away with so many golds and often 1st place has been considerably higher than 2nd or 3rd place.
