The whole doping thing has really thrown a wet blanket over all sports, especially track and field. The perception is, everyone does it and everyone knows everyone does it. If you run faster than someone else, it's because you have better steroids, and if you finish second it's because your pharmacologist isn't as good as the other guy's.

There was a funny but sad piece on the TV coverage last night about the indignities athletes must suffer for drug testing. For instance the old trick of inserting a catheter into your bladder and filling it with someone else's urine, which you can then deliver naturally -- naw, the drug police are onto that one.
