But it appears that Richardson was the victim of an unfortunate collision of biology and physics - a collision that is becoming scarily common in the worlds of athletics and organized sports.

And how does one deal with a President who breaks all promises?" Sensing opportunity, Sharif has cast himself as a man of principle and a victim of Zardari's excesses. Unburdened by the pressures of power, the Punjabi industrialist has been pushing the government to reinstate Chaudhry for over a year now.
