Firstly, what does this have to do with the Celtics?  If you've got some
issues with your toilet flushing in the wrong direction or your nation's
utter dependence on us for defense from the rising powers in China, India,
and Indonesia please take it to alt.flame.the.usa, ok?

Now this is the second incendiary comment you've made in the past few days.
What gives?  I looked for anything US-Australia related and only found the
(thrill of thrills) Davis Cup.  Is that what you've been bitching about?

The only thing I've read that would even be close to cheating would have
been Sampras playing for a faking (if he was) Martin.  Even then how would
playing your nation's best player be called cheating?  You really prefer to
beat the US with an arm tied behind its back?  From what I read (pulling
teeth sounds more exciting than watching it) some nobody from the US nearly
took out your best player.  But you won anyway so what are you still
freaking about?  Go party hearty like the Soviets winning the '88 basketball
over our teen team.  Whatever floats your boat.

BTW, even your own player had the following to say...

"You are not going to find a better sportsman than Todd and I have a lot of
respect for Todd. I never once saw Todd trying to pull something over on
me," Rafter said.

"I saw him on the court and he didn't look great. He looked very pale in the
very beginning but as the match got along he became more and more into it.
Then I knew I was in trouble."

Now quit making a fuss in a totally inappropriate forum.
