t-and-f: First Pair of Spikes (was: Interesting Tidbit from the IOC)

the first pair of spikes I ever had, circa '63, were Bauers. Each of those heavy-leather monsters weighed about as much as a shot, but boy, were those 1-inch spikes killers! gh My first pair of spikes (in the late 60's) was when my brother wanted a pair real bad and my folks figured they better

BRUSSELS, Belgium (August 29, 2002 9:15 a.m. EDT) - Steeplechase world-record holder Brahim Boulami has failed a doping test, the organizer of the Van Damme Memorial meet said Thursday. Wilfried Meert said Boulami was tested on the eve of the Weltklasse meet in Zurich two weeks ago, when he

It's becoming obvious now that EPO is the doping drug of the past. It had it's run, but now anyone even thinking of using it will be caught. Of course there are still a multitude of other means of cheating that the smart cheaters are using. As far as I know there still is no test for HgH. My
