...Jones' big week in Sydney will also include the 200m dash, which she won at the U.S. trials with a time of 21.94 sec., and two four-person relays, the 4-100m and the 4-400m. Jones hasn't competed much at 400m - the way meets are arranged, it's hard to fit in. But her one 400m this year produced the second fastest time in the world. Too bad she doesn't practice. Not that she lacks for activity. If she is to claim gold in all five events, she'll have to run at least...
...some of the most commonly used enhancers, such as erythropoietin (EPO), there are still no institutionalized tests. It is said that EPO, which increases stamina by boosting an athlete's red blood cell count, can improve an athlete's performance in a 20-min. run by 30 sec., but it is otherwise a nightmare of a drug.

...Notable: Reno takes another pass. NYT, breaking it: "Rejecting the recommendation of a top Justice Department investigator..." WP: "Planning to announce today that she has rejected the advice of a senior Justice Department official..." USAT, and WSJ, incredibly, pass. In other non-starter news, Lazio is spared the SEC's probe. What, no scandals this year...
Confused? So was the Securities and Exchange Commission, which last Thursday set forth a rule designed to take the premium out of analysts' direct access to management. From now on, the SEC decreed, companies may not disclose material information to Wall Street--that means the analysts at mutual funds, institutions, and brokerages--without releasing the same information at the same time to the public via a press release, webcast or other means...
