...know already from the last couple years that the spiral of doping has gone up again. We are now dealing with drugs that are not detected at all because no good test has been developed for them. That includes growth factors. The most frequently used is at present IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor 1, which is not detected in urine or even blood tests. There are also some variants of human erythropoietin (EPO) and growth factor that cannot be easily identified. And there are now very short-lived androgenic steroids. Short-lived means that, after...
...growing number of Jamaican citizens and officials, in fact, are counting on their world-conquering young sprinters - none of whom has failed a drug test, and who often speak out against the gunplay at home - to supplant self-styled "roughneck" singers as role models, and help reduce the country's horrific levels of violent crime. "These athletes can speak to the young people in our more troubled communities, especially since many of them come from those communities," says Jamaican sports writer Carole Beckford, author of Keeping Jamaica's Sport on Track. "We can't wait for them to come home...
...Cejudo plans on giving the gold medal to his mother, who, though not a U.S. citizen, is now a resident alien. "You ask my mom, she'll tell you she's American," Cejudo says. "She has to study for the [citizenship] test." A few years ago, Cejudo had an itch to reunite with his father. He never had the chance; Jorge Cejudo died in Mexico City in May 2007 from heart failure that stemmed from years of alcohol and drug abuse. He was 44. "I would sure have loved him to see what we've been through," says Cejudo...
What do you think your role is? My job is to show the world how much good pot does. They always drug-test people when they get in an accident or when they get hurt, you know, or in sports. I want them to start drug-testing people that invent great things. Like a computer program, for instance. Drug-test those people! Find out if they're on pot, you know. Drug-test those scientists who figured out a way to go to outerspace. The people that really smoke pot - all these great authors - Norman Mailer. They're potheads...
...drug-tainted performance will be a huge loss of face for a country that wants to prove that its athletic successes can come naturally. In the run-up to Beijing, just before American swimmer Jessica Hardy was cut from the U.S. swimming team because of a positive doping test, China, too, busted its best men's backstroker, Ouyang Kunpeng, for steroid use and slapped him with a lifetime ban. Ouyang claimed that the anabolic agent entered his system through contaminated food, not through deliberate drug use - an explanation that China's anti-doping association didn...
