i'm totally disappointed in my home girl regina jacobs. when she testified a couple of months ago,
her attorney characterized her as a "victim". ha....total BS!

here's an interesting link http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,6903,1140775,00.html

Had no idea that in 1904 Marathon runner Thomas Hicks almost died at the Olympics in St Louis after
mixing brandy and strychnine.

It's nice to see the media stories lead with Bonds' personal trainer. In the past, these type of
stories have always tarred sprinters (steroids) and distance runners (epo), while conveniently
avoiding the real truth about the National Fat League (isn't that what it really stands for?) and
pro sports in general.

But, now, on the more disgusting side, here is a link to the actual affadivit:

There's a LOT of stuff about Victor Conte's activity on misc.fitness.weights. Also, after reading
the whole indictment, one has to be VERY suspicious of people "connected", like Marion Jones and the
Greek sprinters (Thanou and Keteris).

Oz, dear child, it's being going on at international level for over four decades.

Now *I* would NEVER suggest this (but my cat assures me it's true) that almost every Olympic track
and field medallist over the past three games has - at some stage in their career, knowingly or
unknowingly - 'flirted' with illegal supplements. Makes complete sense to me, 'cause the *only* way
to beat a doped athlete is by doping yourself, and everyone (correctly) assumes that the other guy
is doping.
