Although the use of performance enhancers is prohibited in most sports, it isn't just a question of cheating. The drugs can kill athletes--or make them very sick and shorten their career. Yet they keep taking the stuff, relying on so-called drug gurus to dose them in undetectable ways, and on ever more elaborate strategies to beat drug tests. One of the most devious: using a catheter to pump someone else's urine into their urethra just before a test...
Expanding the scope of their calls, the EIS team turned up the motorcyclist who had passed through town long enough for his two-glass dose of local water on Friday, June 26. In the days since, he had developed a confirmed O157 infection. Because E. coli can be passed by touch from one person to another before it's unknowingly ingested, it was possible that he had picked up the bug from one of his friends in Alpine. But the water-bacteria link was too promising to ignore. Breuer also contacted LaFonda Scott, the woman who had organized the family...
...season is a stage version of that very American pop artifact from the '70s, Saturday Night Fever.

After that, you've had your radiation dose for the day. Stay out any longer, even if you reapply sunscreen, and you will burn, just as a turkey cooked too long will eventually burn, no matter how much you baste...
This isn't the carefully calibrated dose of methamphetamine dispensed by pharmacists in pill form. This is crank--smoked, snorted or injected--and it makes people live like coyotes, says a cop standing outside a south-side Billings bungalow while agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration toss the place for drugs. "This town is coming unhinged," another cop says. As if to prove their point, the suspected crank house whose street-side picture windows are sheathed with tinfoil (sunlight is the cranker's natural enemy) starts belching evidence of criminal lunacy--hypodermic needles clogged with meth, automatic pistols of several...
