4218156,00.html Australian cyclists took steroids, claims
senator By Julian Linden SYDNEY, June 18 (Reuters) -
Australian track cyclists have allegedly been using illegal
steroids in a "shooting gallery" at the Australian Institute
of Sport (AIS), the Australian Parliament heard on Friday.
Senator John Faulkner told the parliament that up to six
riders had been injecting themselves with legal and
prohibited substances after locking themselves in a room at
the AIS in Adelaide. "Room 121 was used as an injecting
room, or indeed as a shooting gallery, by up to six cyclists
locking themselves in, several nights a week, undetected for
months on end," Faulkner said. "Why didn't the coaches and
other staff twig that something untowards was taking place?
"Cycling is, after all, one of the highest-profile sports to
be at risk from performance-enhancing drugs." Faulkner said
the allegations stemmed from an investigation by the Court
of Arbitration for Sport into Mark French, an 18-year-old
Australian track cyclist who was recently banned for two
years for a doping office. Faulkner said French had been
introduced to various drugs, include a growth hormone for
horses, by senior riders at the AIS but was the only cyclist
charged over doping. Australia's Federal Sports Minister Rod
Kemp said he would order an investigation into the claims.
"The Australian Government, let me make it absolutely clear,
has a zero tolerance policy in relation to drugs in sport -
we will not tolerate it in any shape or form," he said.
Faulkner said the Australian Olympic Committee was also
looking into the case.

Princess Anne, Right!Wasn't she the one that used to have her pix in the
newspapers with her HayBurners?And always, to aid the bewildered readers who couldn't tell
the difference, it would say ``That's Princess Anne on the
left/right/whatever''--

As I recall, the IOC made her undergo drug-testing
(including gender testing) at the Montreal Olympics. Mummy
was reportedly not too chuffed.
