At TimesOnline, it was reported that the beautiful voice that rang through the vast Bird’s Nest stadium singing “Ode To The Motherland” wasn’t that of the cute, 9-year old Lin Miaoke, the girl wearing the red dress and had her hair in pigtails.  The voice belonged to a seven-year old Yang Peiyi and the reason why she wasn’t allowed to appear in person to sing the song was reportedly because she had crooked teeth and her appearance i...

According to media reports, Shanteau noticed a testicular abnormality but didn’t see a doctor until his girlfriend urged him to do so. Shanteau got the testicular cancer diagnosis a week before the Olympic trials. Shanteau’s doctors recommended surgery as soon as possible but saw no signs that the cancer had spread. After weighing his options and risks — and his life’s work to get to the Olympics — Shanteau decided to delay treatment until after the Olympics. He’ll be closely monitored during the games and will drop out if there is any sign his cancer is spreading. What...

And so the World Anti-Doping Agency, the body that monitors the use of drugs that enhance sporting prowess, is considering adding Viagra to its list of illegal substances, The Mail writes. The impotence pill is currently not an illegal substance in world sports, but athletes have found Viagra oosts blood flow to their lungs. WADA will conduct research into the effects of the drug, but the results are expected until next year, the paper writes. Meanwhile, this means that competitors at the Beijing Olympics will still be able to take Viagra, which has come to be nicknamed ‘Vitamin V’ in sporting circles, the paper notes. Christiane Ayotte, a scientist at a lab accredited by WADA tells the Mail she regular... Pharmalot blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1538305 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:27:23 +0100 1538305
