Oussama Mellouli pulled off a surprise win in the men's 800-meter freestyle final on Wednesday to become Tunisia's first world swimming champion. Mellouli, 23, settled in the middle of the field but took the lead on the last 100 and finished strongly to win the gold medal in seven minutes, 46.95 seconds. (WCSN, WCSN.com)

  • @RtRdOh33 A strong argument hinges upon proper grammar. Cheating: "Act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, esp. in a game"

    "Even if it didn't help him get better its still cheating."

    For it to be cheating, it would have to be used with the intention of gaining advantage of some sort. Therefore, if the drugs were not taken as such, it's not cheating.

  • austrelia 1st i want and tunisia 2nd

  • @RtRdOh33

    So what he took ADD meds to improve his concentration while studying, he proved that he doesn't need any drugs to enhance his performance, he only needs his arms and legs, besides any athlete that is trying to enhance his physical performance would not opt for ADD meds but rather go for something else, he was young and made a mistake without knowing it.

    He proved himself AGAIN this week winning ANOTHER gold @ the 1500m.
