oh, nevermind... I get it. It was a failed drug test because drugs  
were detected. sorry, definitely hit my head too hard.

but Tom - I don't understand why you and Bob are so upset about the

assume... but why? I can't think of anything more devastating than  
losing the gold medal and the accompanying public awareness of this  
fact.

what could/should FEI have done in your opinion?
