I long ago gave up on the Herald – time you did too!
They are truly reckless when it comes to getting the facts right. At least with a tabloid you know to be suspicious

Quote from Chris Hoy,
"I feel a bit upset that I have been quoted as saying the idea of a Scottish Olympic team is ridiculous.
If and when a Scottish team was put together, I would be delighted to represent Scotland in the Olympic Games.
But before that happens, so much needs to be done for the athletes to be able to compete at the highest level.
As a cyclist, there isn't a facility in Scotland where I can train throughout the year and that's why I have to base myself outside Scotland.
"I am proud to be Scottish, but at the same time it's not feasible to think we can compete as a nation without the right facilities."
As I said, Chris Hoy would love for thier to be a scottish olympic team IF there were proper facilities to train at.

Been reading all the posts about where Scotland would be placed if they had entered their own team - who cares.
