t-and-f: Steeplechaser moons crowd, loses medal...
From over the moon to a bum rap: Mother defends her son Sean Fitz-Gerald National Post, with files from The Canadian Press. A Quebec athlete's cheeky celebration has sparked a cultural controversy at the Canada Summer Games, with his mother claiming mooning is normal in their home province. Daniel Blouin was sent home from the Games in London, Ont., yesterday, a day after being disqualified for mooning the crowd when he finished third in the 3,000-metre steeplechase. Quebecers, Montrealers, they do these things, Lucie Blouin told The Canadian Press from her home in Le Gardeur, Que., northeast of Montreal, yesterday. They do it spontaneously, it's normal here but in Ontario it's not normal.

t-and-f: Russian athletics considering suing Szabo
Russian athletics considering suing Szabo MOSCOW, Aug 23 (Reuters) - The Russian athletics federation is considering legal action against Gabriela Szabo and her manager in the row over world 5,000 metres champion Olga Yegorova and the performance-enhancing erythropoietin (EPO). Yegorova tested positive for EPO at the Paris Golden League meeting in July and was initially suspended from the world championships in Edmonton earlier this month, but was later cleared to compete because the test did not conform to International Olympic Committee (IOC) standards.

t-and-f: More on Surin False Start?
Paul Dupre, the Games' executive director of sport, said yesterday that the starter and three assistant starters determined there had been no false start because of an electrical malfunction of the starting-block mechanism that determines a runner's reaction time to the sound of the gun. Saturday an official from the Finishlynx timing company refuted that claim. There was no technical malfunction. None, said the official on the condition of anonymity, whose company is in charge of timing here.

t-and-f: Bruny Surin False Start??
Surin avoids disqualification Sprinter appeared to false-start twice From today's Ottawa Citizen: Bruny Surin, a world and Olympic medallist, appeared to false-start twice in the quarter-final round, but track officials waved it off without explanation. ... Ottawa's Glenroy Gilbert, who ran beside Surin in Lane 5, was furious immediately after stepping off the track. Why not ask the officials? said Gilbert, when quizzed about the disputed second false start against Surin. They know what happened, and I'm sure you do, too. ... Cameroon runner Alfred Moussambini, who started in Lane 8, said Surin was saved by the fact the international competition was held in Canada. They (track officials) say there was no false start, Moussambini explained. There was no charge because, I think, I'm sure, we're in Canada. I'm sure if it was another guy, it would be immediate (disqualification). But we're in Canada.

t-and-f: Bob Hayes
There was a good article on Bob Hayes in the Orlando Sentinel this week: Still running: Mike Bianchi of the Sentinel Staff Posted April 24, 2001 JACKSONVILLE -- The World's Fastest Human is in a wheelchair on this day, his legs weakened by radiation, his mind clouded by painkillers, his body beaten by years and years of running too many races in too many fast lanes. Bob Hayes always had been able to outrun his pursuers, but life has finally caught up with him. Too many years, too many beers. Mick Jagger was right. . . . What a drag it is growing old. Can't even outrun a sports writer now, Hayes, 58, says laughing and coughing and wincing. They used to call me Bullet Bob. Now I'm Blimpo Bob.

Genes give black runners edge: findings Dominate track and field: Kenyan Olympic gold medallist condemns research. Danish sports researchers have found that black runners have a genetic advantage over white athletes that allows them to run faster and longer. The scientific findings, which were presented on a British television documentary last night, explain black runners' world domination of track and field and come amid an ongoing academic controversy over whether racial differences influence athletic and intellectual ability.

t-and-f: Interval Training
"Classical interval running training was developed in Germany in the 1930s, and the complete workout is fairly tightly structured and monitored by stopwatches (Reilly, 1981). The original form of interval running as conceived by the German coach Gerschler and physiologist Reindall was to repeat a set distance in a set time with a fixed recovery jog between (Watts Wilson, n.d.). A typical session for a 1500-meter runner with a personal best of 3:40 could be 8 repetitions of 400 meters in 57 to 58 seconds, with a recovery jog of 300 meters covered in 3 minutes (Alford, Holmes, Hill Wilson, 1985).

t-and-f: Drugs in Sport
The comment " Sure we'd get rid of the East German marks that are documented to be dirty" was made in today's list. All GDR marks can be considered dirty. In 1977 I was in the GDR for 3 weeks as part of the first group of Western coaches and sports officials allowed into the country. They said to us point blank, when asked about how such a small country could have won so many medals at Montreal, " It's not just the steroids". They made absolutely no attempt to deny that they used drugs. Their position was that steroids administered under medical supervision were safe. It is likely true that many athletes did not even know that they were on steroids. Ken Ken Parker Runner's Web [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.runnersweb.com/running.html
