Three months earlier, the French player had tested positive for cocaine, triggering a two-year ban under the World Anti-Doping Agency code. In a sport with no guaranteed contracts and a short career shelf life, this was, potentially, akin to a professional death sentence.Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:42:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gabriele_marcotti/03/26/wada.doping/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/gabriele_marcotti/03/26/wada.doping/index.htmlFIFA and UEFA did something this week that not only was right and just but also took a fair amount of guts.

In the final days of competition, the IOC was on pace for more than 500 blood tests for HGH.Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:34:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/magazine/03/11/hgh/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/magazine/03/11/hgh/index.htmlTestosterone: Like other hormones, testosterone is produced by both men (primarily in the testes) and women (in the ovaries) -- though the average man produces 10 times more than the average woman. Testosterone is classified as an androgen, or male sex hormone, because it promotes the development of masculine characteristics, such as body hair and a deep voice. It also has anabolic, or building, effects that can increase bone density and muscle mass.Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:18:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1718516,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1718516,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsPlayers' union leader Donald Fehr would consider approving blood testing for the human growth hormone if there was a valid, efficient procedure for determining its use over an extended periodFri, 29 Feb 2008 18:00:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/13/balco.founder/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/13/balco.founder/index.html#cnnSTCTextThe man whose lab distributed performance-enhancing drugs to athletes says the policies of American professional baseball and football leagues encourage their use.

Thou dost take issue with that view? Perhaps thou hast forgotten that Shakespeare, Byron and Shelley were opium fiends, Charlie Parker chased more dragons than St. George, and Elvis went tits-up on the growler because narcotics make you feel like there's a 50-pound pineapple stuck in your doggie-door.Fri, 23 Feb 2007 23:01:00 EST
