I'm sure many of you have been watching the Olympics and see the ads about Swisse vitamins. i hope to God they stop sponsoring our athletes. Nearly every athlete who is sponsored by them drops in performance.
1. Ricky Ponting- Sponsored by Swisse a few years ago after he made a double hundred against Pakistan. It took him 2 years to enter triple figures again and it saw him lose the Test Captaincy.
2. James O'Connor- The Rugby prodigal's career was taking off until he was sponsored by Swisse. Not only was he dropped from the Wallabies starting side but he began receiving injuries he'd never had before.
3. Cadel Evans- Sponsored after his 2011 Tour triumph. This year has been fatigued, didn't finish on the podium in the TDF, and pulled out of the Olympic Time Trial.
4. Elizabeth Cambage- The women's basketballer herself hasn't been too affected but the women's team has only won 1 of their matches.
5. Matthew Targett- Struggled in his leg in the Men's 4X100m relay.
The only person relatively unaffected by the Swisse curse is Formula 1 driver Mark Webber who sits in the Top 3 this season. However, his ads haven't been shown for a while.

Hmmm.....James O'Connor. Another junior we lost along the way.
Reportedly he was about to sign with us but the Western Force offered him plenty and we couldn't match it.
That's weird. My piss makes the Swiss turn a funny colour.
Swisse made my doodle bigger
HA!
Nah, it's the new meds Meinoz has me on. In truth, exams have come around and I've been a bit flat lately. I still wrote the match report and I will be writing a new, intuitive blog tonight to pump us up for next year.
Super22, is ''swisse cheese'' your codeword for the new generation of weak n precious athletes ?
Depends if the cheese is halal.
