...athletes take them. It's really nothing special." No single drug she took was blamed for her death, but it is worth noting that one of the drugs she reportedly received was Stromba -- a trade name for stanozolol, the steroid that was found in Ben Johnson's urine test...
Only last August, Chrysler announced that it would pay more than $16 million to 38,600 people across the U.S. whose "brand-new" cars had in fact sometimes been test-driven hundreds of miles with the odometers disconnected. Now investigators have discovered that the giant automaker sold, bought back and then resold 392 defective cars in New York without telling their new owners about their mechanically troubled past.

And so, on the first day of its scheduled four-day mission, the five-man Discovery crew achieved one of its major goals -- sending TDRS toward its designated orbit -- and seemed well on its way toward the other: a successful test flight of the newly refurbished shuttle.

At the center of the controversy was Dr. Astaphan, a general practitioner on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Astaphan has been associated with Johnson for more than five years, and the sprinter spent several weeks this summer on St. Kitts, purportedly being treated for a hamstring pull. Astaphan denied the reports that he gave Johnson stanozolol but did say he gave him therapeutic corticosteroids and subsequently notified the I.O.C. The doctor also became the subject of intense scrutiny. York University officials, according...
