It’s been a while since I last had someone guest blog over at The Watering Hole but I guess this issue about Marion Jones’ Doping Guilt caused our very own b5media Business blogger Rico Mossesgeld of Contract Worker to question an athlete’s integrity whereas I only thought of the medals.
Rico raised a good point. Not […]
So the speculation has ended: Marion Jones recently admitted to lying to federal agents, who were investigating her drug use. Still, Shaun Assael of ESPN writes that “Only the truly naive will believe this version of Jones’ story.
Jones’ confession follows Floyd Landis loss of his Tour de France title due to drug use. With all […]
I remember being taught in Grade school that the Olympic motto was Citius, Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for Faster, Higher, Stronger. It’s a great phrase, signifying man’s struggle to push beyond his limitations.
Then, in 2000, we started hearing less of the motto and more of the IOC’s new advertising campaign: Celebrate Humanity. There was […]
Let’s get the discussion going this Saturday as b5media’s Contract Worker Rico Mossesgeld shares his thoughts on the twist that happened to the Olympic’s original message, “Citius, Altius, Fortius”.
You want to know what it means? Well, you have to stay tuned with all the rest. Hehe.
Join us at The Watering Hole!

Let’s accept a simple fact: Amateurism just doesn’t work for the Olympics. And it’s not because cities can allegedly win hosting bids through lots of money. Keeping athletes from earning money from […]
I always enjoy hearing a new voice in Light the Torch, that’s why I created the guest blogging series, The Watering Hole, here in this blog. I admit that it’s been pretty quiet these past few months, so, I’m quite happy that the ball’s still rolling.
Let’s welcome Rico Mossesgeld of The Smart PDA this coming […]
The Japanese port of Fukuoka formally announced on Tuesday its bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. The southern provincial city believes the era of big cities hosting the Games is over, but faces competition from the capital Toyko to go forward as Japanese bid.

Remember what I told you about The Watering Hole?
Well — fabulous news! I got my first official guest blogger. Hehehe.
What better way to kick things off but have an Olympian to contribute here at Light the Torch? Don’t bother answering. It’s a rhetorical question. Heh. Sorry. I’m just happy that’s all.
Can I help it if […]
The Watering Hole. The guest blogging series.
Like I mentioned before, I am inviting readers to come on over and speak up. I like the idea that Light the Torch will be filled with varied voices and hopefully launch a festive atmosphere filled with discussions and occasional debates…
The Olympic Torch is just part of what Light the Torch covers. We discuss the coming Beijing Olympics as well as future and past Olympic Games, Olympic athletes, and Olympics issues and news.
