A law suit is also in store for USADA and Decanio from Stolen Underground, the later representing himself in court. Intimidating stuff, especially [...]

You won’t meet a nicer guy than triathlete Simon Whitfield - who just coincidentally happens to be a world class athlete. It has been a pleasure to train with Simon and crew up here in Flagstaff and it looks like it has paid off for the 2 X Olympic Medalist (gold in 2000-Sydney and silver [...]

The advances in gene therapy have been huge. There is a recent article in Sports Illustrated outlining the current state of the technology.

Did anyone catch the report, which I think is a book now, on the data compiled that Bush has lied 950+ times given ~580 opportunities in public speeches? I briefly caught some of it on NPR yesterday.

It is obviously above section 4 where [...]
