Conte to Collins:"Have you gone cuckoo."

[Friar]

I guess even Conte has limits: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/11/sport ... gewanted=2
"Collins wrote to Conte that she had access to a testosterone gel. Conte wrote back, strongly cautioning Collins not to use the gel, saying it could cause a positive drug test and telling her she was already getting what she needed from "the cream."

"Have you gone cuckoo!" Conte wrote."6/11 NYT

Re: Conte to Collins:

My favourite line is "We had the sleepiest track team!!!!"

Is the book "Faust's Gold" widely available? Is it a good read?

I've read it, and I highly recommend it. It tends to focus more on the swimming part of the GDR regime, but it does touch on athletics too.
