There is speculation, which WADA won't deny, that the organization will pull the same trick in Athens with a test for synthetic human growth hormone (HGH), which stimulates muscle and bone growth. It's popular among competitors because unlike easily detected steroids, excess HGH levels are difficult to distinguish from normally circulating levels. 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...
...separated about 18 months ago. "It's amicable," she says simply. In that time, perhaps not coincidentally, she has been doing a lot of work.

That show debuted in spring 2001 and then ran smack into the aftermath of 9/11, when TV executives were not exactly eager to air unsentimental treatments of public servants. But FX is a different network, a cable channel trying to distinguish itself with controversial series like The Shield and Nip/Tuck. And it's a different time: now New York City fire fighters have been making the news for infractions that involve drinking and drugs and for suffering budget cuts...
...Korea or Senegal. The idea that "there are no longer any easy games" at international level has become a mantra among national team coaches, as the gap between the teams has narrowed. But the more national teams try to play the same way, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish national idioms of the game. And the spectacle is sometimes diminished as a result...
