...Shannon doubted that Irish swimmer Michelle Smith was clean, as a hulking version of her prior self had lowered her times astonishingly. Her success coincided with her marriage to a former discus thrower from the Netherlands who had been kicked out of his own sport as a drug cheat. But Smith won four medals in Atlanta, three of them gold, while passing all her exams. She then dodged random testing for two years before being confronted one dawn at her County Kilkenny home. She reluctantly produced a urine sample, which was later found to be tainted by enough alcohol...
...I.O.C. needs to do two things immediately: develop a spine, and federalize. The only way to catch a cheat is with unannounced, out-of-competition testing, and that's where the focus should be in the next eight weeks. Historically the I.O.C. has delegated decision making to individual sports federations, but that policy is not working when it comes to drugs.

After all, the cartel is effective only as long as all its members avoid the temptation to cheat on their production quotas by pumping extra barrels. In the process, Chavez is making no secret of his confrontational attitude to Washington's interventions - on Tuesday he urged OPEC members to resist outside pressure to lower prices...
...sail, hoping not to be voted off the island for bad behavior. Our kids are perfectly manageable, but I feared a reprise of the cutthroat game of Monopoly the six adults had played back in 1991, after which I was forced to apologize for cheating. (I know, being the banker is no excuse.) I needn't have worried. We played Ping-Pong, a sport in which it's hard to cheat if you're not that good to begin with and if you've had a little wine to boot...
