A Sad Day for Pigeon Racing

Forget the Russian's. This is the real problem in sport:

A pigeon racing champion has been handed a lifetime ban from the sport following allegations he cheated to win a race from France.

Eamon Kelly, 52, was accused of cheating in this year's Tarbes Grand National, a blue riband event.
He allegedly registered 14 birds for the race, but kept them at home while sending decoys to Tarbes, France.
The National Flying Club said the 52-year-old, from Didcot, admitted to senior members that he cheated.

Good to see he's had his wings clipped

Bet he ruffled a few feathers with that stunt.

He's beaked my interest, though.

Without wanting to stereotype I automatically assumed he'd be from the North East

Did someone say pigeon racing? How about Geordie Racer 8-)

I hope he doesn't get pigeonholed as a cheat for the rest of his life though.

He'll get in a right flap if that happens, no doubt

I think any jokes at his expensive are a bit cheep.

Isn't it "Pigeon Fancying"?

Bit of a coop for the sport, this.

No need to take such a lofty position.

I used to know someone who pigeon raced, hope he'll be able to coop with the bad news

Im glad I wasn't the one that had to confront him about it.

I'm glad the authorities in Oxfordshire Didcot him, because if they Didn'tcot him he would've gotten away with it...
