What is it with Australian athletes and British pubs?

Post by Old Redback »

Leaving aside the debate of Australian athletes not actually being Australian, why is it that Australian athletes can't keep their hands to themselves after a couple of beers, first David Warner and now this weightlifter feel the need to strike out. Aussies can't hold their beer?

Maybe it's all the ugly women on show that leaves them frustrated?

Not entirely true but you've been stuck in the eastern suburbs for too long so it stands to reason you'd think as such.
