The IOC commissioner is on now, saying that if they find anything, they WILL disqualify China.

Geez... the USA is just not good distance runners. We believe too much in instant gratification which is why we're such good sprinters!
If I were a distance runner for the USA, forget all the high-tech training centers in Colorado and stuff... I'd move myself to Kenya or Ethiopia to train!

Well, the US has won the medal count, they cannot be caught by China! 
Of course, China will spin it to make it so they win, because they have the most golds, even though, it's never been like that.

Alright, guys, I'm headed to bed. Going to get a few hours of sleep before the game tonight.

Lagat didn't do so well in the 5,000, but that was a great run by the Kenyan.

OK, that's fine.

Through yesterday's events, the US leads the medal count at 107, and it's impossible (not counting potential later disqualifications) for them to lose it to second place China (96), no matter what happens today. China had a huge lead in gold medals through yesterday, and can't lose it, either.

NBC's afternoon coverage (including the men's water polo final), begins in about 10 minutes (at least in the east coast, I think Central, too, though).
