Doping and the news.

Why is it when it's cycling it's everywhere and the cops are playing gestapo,
but when it's someone else it's really low key?

I think it's mostly everywhere in rbr. I'm sure more people (in the
states at least) know about Jason Giambi and Balco than know about Pantani.

I hadn't heard about Giambi being linked to Balco, though he played
for Oakland and it would have been a short drive to the supplier.
Mostly I'm hearing about Balco and Track & Field, but Manzano appeared
to indicate THG was among the Kelme drug pool.

Bonds initially denied anything, then said he took whatever
supplements his trainer gave him (and he trusted the trainer), but it
does seem a bit like Virenque "I didn't take drugs" -> "I may have,
but not intentionally" -> "Ok, I did and I'm sorry."

I'm expecting a bombshell to come out of the racing pigeon community
any day now.

Chambers has been pretty high profile in the UK, Bill. He was captain
of the GB athletics team and T&F is a major sport here.

To some extent he's seen as a "victim" of his coach and a devious US
supplement company - us Brits would never knowingly dope, would we?

Giambi was called in front of the Grand Jury as was Sheffield. It was a
big topic in Yankees spring training. The SF chronicle reported that
they had proof of all three: Bonds, Shef, and Giambi recieving steroids.

That's the usual seagull shit. I figure THG Pigeon shit should leave a
bigger dent.
