Speaking of fantastic sporting outsomes, wouldn't it be nice if Marion Jones was stripped of her medals if found to have been a druggie. Why should Ben Johnson be the only poster boy for bad if it turns out the US track and field team has been lapping it up to a degree that would embarrass a 1970's Warsaw Bloc swimming coach. Hang 'em all and maybe our fourth and fifth places with start to get populated with bronze and silver ex post facto. Worked for Becky Scott.

It would be nice to go back a bit further, too. I recall a great comparison in Sports Illustrated I think it was of Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis's shoulders as evidence of drug use. Someone then suggested comparing the facial hair of certain US women athletes with their competators. Equally telling but no follow-up. I think it is likely that the whole rang-dang-doo is hopped up like a Mexican experimental treatment clinic and has been since the Nazis ran the games...no, I meant 1936.
