From gold to silver with the help of steriods

Ethan Switch - Tuesday, 24 August, 2004 - 17:45:15 - print it raw

Following on the chalked out footsteps of Greek's weightlifting bronzer, Leonidas Sampanis, the Russian Federation have scored silver in the doping sanctions from the International Olympic Committee. Irina Korzhanenko, 30, winner of the gold in the women's shot put, was stripped of her medal following a positive result for stanozolol (an anabolic steriod) in her system.

The Russian Federation Olympic Committe have been ordered to hand back both the medal and the diploma for the now dubious win. All eyes are on the line to see which athlete from which sport, representing what country will take the final honours of being awarded the bronze in effortless doping.

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
