...feels pained for Andreea Raducan, the 16-year-old Romanian gymnast who was stripped of her gold medal in the all-around competition because, it seems, her team physician had prescribed a cold remedy containing the stimulant pseudoephedrine.

If NARAL ignores the letter of the agreement, you can be sure Clinton will pay the price...
