Chinese basketball's `night of shame'

[dArKeR]

A basketball game between China and visiting Puerto Rico deteriorated into a mass brawl that state media denounced as a "night of shame," saying it set a bad example for the 2008 Olympic hosts.
The fighting erupted at Beijing Capital Gymnasium on Friday night after two Chinese players charged off the bench to fight Puerto Rican players in the dying moments of a Stankovic Cup game in which China was leading.

The bad feeling spilled into the stands where 3,000 home fans hurled abuse along with drinks, plastic bottles, yoghurt and popcorn, local media reported yesterday. Officials abandoned the game as the visitors fled to the locker room, one shielding his head with a plastic chair.

2. If Western "thinking" athletes take steroids, I'm pretty convinced

Chinese athletes will take double. What I've learned from Chinese culture, "If you can't see it it can't hurt you."
