Davey notes with interest the comments from the HamletLander, secure
in the knowledge that a HamletLander would rather lose his right arm
than stoop to winning bike races by cheating or Doping

Just ask Bjarne or Kim :;

In any case, Davey's personal opinion was that Phonak should have lost
the appeal to be Pro-Tour approved.

Always supposing that we have to accept, albeit temporarily, the
existance of the Pro-Tour Circus

[QUOTE]
Guys,

Phonak is not just a retailer, but in fact a hearing aid producer,
the third largest and second most profitable in the world. It is
a Swiss company which was involved in the greatest sporting scandal
of this summer, when another ambitious US athlete tried a short-cut
to success and fame. Phonak sponsors the cycling team that won the
Tour de France, with American athlete Floyd Landis, who was
presumeably on drugs when he killed the whole peloton on the crucial
stage, and now is soon to be stripped of his victory.

Chess has some catching up to do. Medical exemptions for hearing aids
(<g>😉, electronic sweeps for illicit communications.

But, letting someone sit down opposite you in any money game with a
hearing aid in/on? Didn't any of these chess nurds ever watch
Goldfinger? --D-y

You sure got that right 😉

their wildest dreams imagine that some [censored] would stoop so low

Chess players to face anti-doping measures

DOHA (Reuters) - Chess's world governing body will introduce dope testing at
the Asian Games this week, although the sport's top official in Doha said he
had no idea how drugs could enhance chess performance.

"I would not know which drug could possibly help a chess player to improve
his game," competition manager Yousuf Ahmad Ali said.

Long soak in a mildly hot tub, lots of soap?

They're apparently doing quite a lot of this over there so I would
guess the paint technology is pretty well figured out, in deference to
the medium.

Testosterone patches. Imagine a slightly loony Fischer on testosterone.
