Before slating BBC, perhaps Oliver should have looked in the, er, Mirror

Daily Mirror sports columnist Oliver Holt had a right old go at the BBC today, saying it should be "ashamed" for nominating athlete Christine Ohuruogu as one of the 10 candidates for its Sports Personality of the Year award. "Do they not realise that for eight months of the year in question, this particular personality was serving a ban for missing three drugs tests?" he thundered. Monkey can only guess that Holt had no hand in the 10 sports men and women the Mirror put forward for the gong which included, yes, you've guessed it, Ms Ohuruogo.
