Clement's tweet:
"Um, so we've been lost on the road for 4hrs. Not a good first impression London. Athletes are sleepy, hungry and need to pee. Could we get to the Olympic Village please."
doesn't reflect quite so well on him that the American team were actually travelling to their holding camp in Birmingham and not the Olympic village. London to Birmingham shouldn't take 4 hours admittedly but it makes a little more sense once you weed out the facts

Love it when people try to discredit others WITHOUT EVEN HAVING READ THE ARTICLE. Such a letsrun thing, happens here all the time.
If they got to pee, maybe they can do a drug test when they get there too. Kill two birds with one stone.
Just sayin'...
