You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

new drug scandal
looks like this year's TDF winner Floyd Landis has been tested positive for doping. At least his team confirms the A sample was positive.ZIPPIE FOR CHAIRMANComment

Let's just abolish professional cycling at this point. It's a farce. I'm certainly dropping it from my list of sports to watch. I kind of lost interest in it during the Pantani TDF, and during the whole Armstrong period I wasn't very keen on it, but this TDF was at least interesting, until the whole doping crap popped up again. Very disappointed. Back to Sumo and Snooker and Darts and Pool. I'm fairly sure none of those people use doping!"I'll be back next year." --Jimmy WhiteComment

Spot on! Next year its called Tour de Farce.
BTW, I would not rule out any drugs abuse in Tennis. In that sport they just cover everything up. Seen Mauresmo's chin and jaw structure? Its evidence of using Steroids over at least a decade! (The same applies for Inge de Bruijn, Elvaago)Comment

I am not sure about snooker though. Neal Foulds was caught with using Beta blockers! As a reward, he got a commentary position with the BBC.Comment

Well, Mitsuko, when they take sample, they divide it in halfs that are marked A and B. Normally the results should be the same for both. However, in some cases sometimes after a positive A sample the B sample is negative - maybe due to some procedural mistakes, but the point is that it can not be proved that athlete has used something illegal. I guess Marion has been extremely lucky with that - though I've heard that current tests for EPO are a bit unreliable in the sense they sometimes give such contradicting results.ZIPPIE FOR CHAIRMANComment

Thanks April
