...That grim situation could have been avoided, researchers say. An estimated 12 million American women are routinely prescribed statins, which carry a risk of serious side effects. Yet there is little evidence that they prevent heart disease in women. In past research, statin therapy has been shown to prolong the lives of people with heart disease. It has also been shown to stave off the onset of heart disease in healthy at-risk adults.

In a statement released March 17, the prosecutor general's office said it had already forced private contractors in Sochi to shell out 1.2 million rubles (about $40,000) in back pay. But Pechorin says he hasn't seen any of the back pay yet, and neither have any of the workers he knows...
