And WADA is also reserving the right to nab dopers after the fact--the I.O.C. will keep the samples from Athens and subject them to detection methods WADA may deploy over the next few months...

The best guess is that internal heat left over from the gravitational collapse that formed the planet in the first place is keeping things warm. Cassini will deploy its cameras, infrared sensors, chemical spectrographs and more to deconstruct the planet's atmosphere and find out for sure. Other instruments will map the planet's magnetosphere and gravitational field, perhaps confirming the theory that even so massive a ball of gas as Saturn has a solid core...
