THE 'ROID REPORT FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 29
by Gary Gaffney, MD, Steroid Nation
July, the gateway to August and the 2008 Olympics. July, the Tour de France. July, when the weightlifters all bail from competition.
Beginning last week and striding (or stroking) into the early days of July, US athletes competed for berths on the 2008 Olympics team and airfare to Beijing China. Olympic athletes also face more stringent dope testing preparing for the Olympics than in previous years.
In the USA camp, drug-cheat and ex-gold medal winner Justin Gatlin, did not run in the '08 Olympic trials. Gatlin or no Gatlin, the USA showed speed to burn: Tyson Gay fired up the 100M in an wind-aided 8.68. However Gay pulled a hamstring in the 200, falling hard o the fast new track in Eugene OR.
Several once-juiced athletes qualified for the US track team: Torri Edwards a female sprinter, and Demu Cherry in women's 100M hurdles. Both served suspensions in past years for doping: Edwards a stimulant, and Cherry a nandrolone metabolite. None disgraced themselves as much as former world record holder Tim Montgomery who plead guilty to heroin charges last week.
US gymnast Morgan Hamm failed to inform the USOC of his therapeutic use of an anti-inflammatory steroid for hip pain; this did not sooth US Olympics officials who need both Hamm and his twin brother to compete at Beijing.
The big news over in Omaha, when US swimmers competed for Olympics slots included an incredible performance by superman Michael Phelps, and superwoman Dara Torres. Torres (photo to the left) a 41 year-old mother defied gravity, swimming faster that she did 20 years ago to qualify for her 5th Olympiad. Cynics howled at the moon attempting to identify if she doped. This appears to be futile exercise: she never tested positive for the juice even when questions arose in 2000. Torres attributes her amazing physique to stretching, and not weight machines (? lifting). Torres feel so righteous she volunteered to offer every body fluid and a couple abdominal organs for dope testing. Fava beans anyone?
The dope testers worked overtime abroad. Bulgaria lost an entire weightlifting team to juice. The Chinese cracked down on several athletes. Lord Coe in the UK looks dimly on sprinter Dwain Chambers -- a BALCO player -- attempt to override the lifetime ban Britain slapped on the track star. Euro indoor champ, Slovak shot putter Mikulas Konopka, appears to be banned for doping, serving life plus 3.
The biggest loss occurred when Turkish gold medalist 4ft-11inch Halil withdraw from the upcoming Beijing Olympics, thus spoiling his opportunity for a 3-peat in weight lifting. Mutlu (photo to the right) said he was coming up short on training lifts. Mutlu cast a long shadow on his achievements when he was nailed with a steroid suspension.
The 2008 Tour de France rolled out a less than star-studded stable of cyclists, cut down by the pervasive doping offenses the past several years in pro cycling. While Floyd Landis considered appealing his recent loss of the 2006 Tour to the man in the moon, Alejandro Valverde took Day One. Valverde's lead, implicated in the huge Operation Puerto doping scheme in Europe, suggests connoisseurs of the doping scandal may yet be served in the '08 Tour. Then again, even the EPO test employed to catch blood doping cheats, draws lab validity questions. (and here)
Oh yes, and the PGA began steroid testing; John Daly they are looking at you, dude.
Almost a quiet week in baseball. Ex-trainer Brian McNamee asked the court to dismiss Roger Clemens's defecation suit (anyone catch that?) against him. Mega-juicer Jason Giambi is making a case to be on the 2008 All-Star team, as Mitchell-report add-on Todd Williams would just like to make an MLB team.
Several weeks of the Tour de France and several weeks until the Beijing Olympics. Wonder what steroid surprises lie ahead?

I TAKE IT ALL BACK!
by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks
Forget every disparaging word I have ever said about the Mainstream Media's coverage of Tiger Woods during a Golf Tournament.
I don't care if he's first or forty-second - this is the guy to be talking about.
He's a freak of nature and quite possibly the greatest athlete hobbling around the planet today.
Not golfer - athlete.
Could LeBron or Kobe knock down an 18-foot jumper with time winding down, their team down one and only a handful of weeks after having surgery? And they're playing for the fourth consecutive night...
His commercial compadre Roger Federer was in the running, but seeing as he has this thing about not ever being able to beat Nadal in France, he's out.
Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin are huge talents too, but seriously, there is no way they could do what Tiger has been doing these past few days.
The fact that he was even in contention this weekend speaks volumes about his competitive drive, his tenacity and his desire to be the best every single time he picks up a club.
That he dropped that putt on 18 to force today's playoff - where he is currently 2-up through 11 - makes me look like an absolute moron for ever questioning the coverage of a just-off-the-pace Tiger.
Oh, it also lays to rest the "Is he the greatest ever?" debate too.
Answer: Abso-fucking-lutely!

NOT AGAIN...
by E. Spencer Kyte, Bugs and Cranks
Dear Mainstream Media,
Didn't you learn anything from The Masters?
* * * * * * * * *
Another Major Tournament is upon us and someone not named Tiger Woods is in the lead. So, as you would expect, all the coverage is of Tiger stalking his prey - how he shot a great round yesterday to get within striking distance of leader Stuart Appleby.
I know they're playing at Torrey Pines this weekend, but it sure does feel a lot like Augusta, Georgia to me, what with all the "never mind the other guy that's in the lead, look at Tiger!"
In fact, this time around it's even better, as Tiger has done nothing of consequence on a golf course since not winning The Masters. Knee surgery will do that to you. Still, it's almost all Tiger, all the time.
But this is golf we're talking about - a sport where if you're not talking about Tiger, you better be talking about Phil because the Mainstream Media is under the impression that golf fans only care about those two guys.
Now, should Tiger fire a similar round today and make it to the top of the Leaderboard heading into the final round, then there is a reason to talk about him until you're blue in the face. But right now, he's had as good a tournament as Rocco Mediate and Robert Karlsson, who have received the square root of zero in terms of media attention over these last two days. I know neither is a marquee name, but they've played just as well as Eldrick has over the first 36 holes...
I normally get excited about watching the majors. There is a ton of great shot-making and you never know what is going to happen, especially at the US Open.
But this weekend, I'm keeping the TV tuned in to something else, because I'm interested in watching golf, not the Tiger Woods Show.

YOU MAD, MICKELSON?
by Jarrett Carter, Stet Sports Blog
Phil Mickelson is fed up with coming in second place. If it wasn't for Tiger Woods, he'd probably be driving around in fancy Buicks and getting his own brand of Gatorade.
Instead, he's forever linked to Winged Foot-in-throat syndrome, and being the little banana to the Big Kahuna that is Tiger Woods.
But he shouldn't be mad. He should be grateful that someone like Tiger Woods came along to elevate his game and launch him into the discussion of being one of the greatest of all time.
Woods' career has been an exercise in lunacy. It's crazy to think that one mind could be so focused so often, especially in a sport like golf where its you, the club, the hole, and mother nature.
And yet, Phil has been right there every step of the way. For a while, Vijay Singh was the talk of the town, but Mickelson was always in the "who can possibly catch Tiger?" discussion. And if it were not for Tiger, would Mickelson ever have the motivation to be that consistently locked in?
I don't think so.
Phil Mickelson is one of the best ever, and were it not for his playing prime crashing at Woods' intersection of genius and destiny, it would be his name up there with Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer.
Besides, not everyone drives Buicks and drinks Gatorade.
