Like the fabled Seoul '88 men's 100, where virtually all the finalists ended up "dirty" at one point or another, is the Paris women's 200 now falling apart?

"Valentin Balakhinchev, head of the Russian track federation, suggested the tests were aimed at hurting the Russian team."

Easy way around that problem-don't take drugs. Although someone should tell him two things-stanazolol is so eighties and the cold war is over.

Nice. So if they throw Kelli's result in Paris out they award the Gold to Kapa? What a mess.

More on the mess(Kapa suspended):

"In a strange twist, Kapachinskaya,
who finished second behind Kelli
White in the 200m at last year's world outdoor championships in Paris,
will be awarded the gold after the American received a two-year
suspension for violating anti-doping rules."
