“ We swear that we will take part in these Olympic Games
in the true spirit of sportsmanship, and that we will
respect and abide by the rules that govern them, for
the glory of sport and the honor of our country.”
Athens: The 2004 Olympic Games
As the competitors jogged out, the Crowd Released
A thunderous Sound Beneath the soft Clouds of Greece
Astounding Athletes .. Smiled, Clapped and Cheered
The stadium erupted .. Mild Laughter in their Air
Past Years saw champions crowned, world record Times Set
& now its time for them to shine as their Country’s Finest
it Requires full concentration, a lean Physique and Style
But that place on the podium makes all the Training Worth While
To know you’ve competed & won medals among the Gods of Age
and they Anticipate the Olympic Torch that’ll Start the Games
.

As the events were announced, you could see the Sweat on his Shirt
His eyes looking to sky, and he was Desperate for First
This was the moment he’d trained for, to be Privileged of Gold
The beads of sweat Bungee Jumping from the Bridge in his Nose
Feeling hopefull .. he isolated himself in Stretch four
All that stood between him & first place was the Length of the Course
Eighteen hundred meters straight sprint after the Starters Gun
To win he knows he must perform at the Hardest he’s Run
Adrenaline Pumping his Muscles as he Entered the Blocks
Concentration at Breaking point, tryna Center his Thoughts
“Set” was called .. the Moment Of Truth had Finally Arrived,
but this Teenage Phenomenon had his Eyes set on the Prize
of crossing the Finish Line first .. making 4th the Wonder Lane
and with a final gun shot, the Race was now Underway
He’d Heard It Late .. not the Greatest Break, but roughly even
and Tied for fifth place with Urlah Tamovich of Sweden
Every second now counted .. first bend Fastly Approaching
.. The athlete from Uganda left a tight gap Vastly Open ..
Our Sensation cut the inside .. now Pushing for Third Place
His anatomy at full stretch .. and Rushing with Pace
Arms flailing on the Straight .. this was his chance to Take The Lead
His chance to pull ahead of the leading pack at Breaking Speed
the Aching Knees didnt deter him .. he retained a Firm Focus
Now in second place, but lookin toward the finish where His Hope Was
Neck and Neck, the Swede & Czech as they reached the final bend,
It was all down to determination, and who could go that extra length
Could this break the record attempt? The audience Gasped at the Screens
as the Czech Republic took first with a time of Four Fifteen
Beating the record no one's managed the Last Ten Years
with a standing ovation from the crowd as he Collapsed In Tears
.
.
.
Next Day, the Czech's Name was on the tabloid's Headline
Beneath the exclusive "An Olympic Cheat: Fined!"
He'd Declined to comment further, and so now as the Records State
The gold medal was Awarded to the German in Second Place
Scientists led various tests, found Traces in his Blood
Indicating the Czech had used a Performance Enhancing Drug
He was later Banned from the Sport, his track Career was Finished
"Sure its the taking part that counts, but you only take Part To Win It
I'd of shed Blood for this Sport, now i've a heavy Diss-Taste
I guess my Competitive Edge proved my Biggest Mistake.
A Living Great was something id always Aspired to Achieve
I put my Blood and Sweat into this Sport, and thats what cost me.
