Rare jongens, die worstelaars (impactwrestling.com)
Het vliegtuigpersoneel van SportsJet heeft een aanklacht ingediend tegen een aantal showworstelaars vanwege hun gedrag tijdens een
vlucht van Europa naar de VS op 5-5-2002.
,,Ric Flair apparently took a flight attendant to the back of the plane and forced her to do things against her will. He also repeatedly
flashed his penis and spun it around numerous times.
Scott Hall was said to have told a flight attendant that he wanted her to perform oral sex on him and also stated that he wanted to make
sexual contact with her.
Dustin Runnels was said to have been very rude to the attendants and grabbed them numerous times as they walked by. He also asked if
the attendants breasts were real.
The suit also claims numerous other WWE wrestlers on the plane fondled the attendants as they walked past.
It also claims that many of the guys gave the attendants needles to dispose of."

Negentig procent van de Amerikaanse kalveren krijgt illegaal trenbolone (USA Today)
"We consider this an illegal activity," says Stephen Sundlof, who heads the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. He said the drug may be
metabolized differently in calves than in adult animals. But Paul Slayton of the American Veal Association called the issue much ado about nothing,
saying hormones have been fed to calves for 30 years.''

Been ontploft door creatine (King County Journal)
Wat is dit? Een 1 aprilgrap? Of is het verhaal van uitsmijter en bodybuilder Travis Starkovich waar? En verkrampten zijn beenspieren door een
overmaat aan creatine inderdaad zo extreem dat de artsen dood spier weg moesten snijden? En wildgroei van gebeente moesten wegzagen?
Starkovich woog 98 kilo en had een vetpercentage van twee procent. En dat na een half jaar trainen 'zonder anabolen, maar
wel met creatine, glutamine en een stacker'. Ja ja.

Aangerande TV-presentatrice begint rechtszaak tegen Arnold Schwarzenegger (Independent)
Tijdens de opnames voor een interview in Engeland werd Schwarzenegger handtastelijk. Toen stills van de videoband en verklaringen van
presentator Anna Richardson [ErGs] in de media kwamen, sloeg Arnold terug.
,,When Mr Schwarzenegger, who starred in three Terminator films, was first confronted with the allegation he is said to have claimed that Ms Richardson
had encouraged this behaviour.
The legal action will centre on whether Mr Schwarzenegger or his team have damaged Ms Richardson's reputation as a professional interviewer by
presenting her as someone who uses sex as part of her interview technique. Negotiations between the two sides have broken down and the case is expected
to be set for trial later this year.''
In Ms Richardson's original interview with The Sun about the alleged groping incident, she said: "He kept saying how fantastic I looked and staring at my
boobs. When I went to shake his hand he pulled me on to his knee, saying, 'I really want to know if your breasts are real'. I told him they are an F-cup.
Before I knew what was happening he circled my nipple with his finger and gave it a squeeze. He then said, 'Yeah, they are real.' I stood up and said,
'You're making me nervous'. He told me not to be nervous and pulled me back on his knee. I said, 'Can I go, please?' He said, 'Yeah', and patted my bum
as I went off."''

,,Bijwerkingen van anabolen worden verschrikkelijk overdreven'' (Newsday)
Opiniestuk van Norman Fost, één van de laatste verdedigers van het gebruik van anabolen in het publieke debat. ,,There is near unanimity that "doping"
should be banned because these drugs are unfair, unnatural, harmful, coercive and undermine fans' confidence and trust. But these claims are incoherent,
disingenuous, hypocritical, unsubstantiated, exaggerated or just plain false.''
,,Anabolic steroids do have well-documented side effects, many of them cosmetic or reversible, such as changes in hair distribution, voice
changes or infertility.''
,,The litany of risks includes unsubstantiated or overstated claims about heart disease. Long-term use can change the blood lipid count unfavorably, but
that's a long way from a heart attack.'' (Hmmm. Ik weet het niet, Norman. De laatste tijd krijgen wel erg veel gebruikers een dodelijke hartaanval.)
,,The claim that steroids are immoral because they are unnatural is even more incoherent. Ever since the first Greek runner put on shoes, athletes
have been using unnatural assists, external and internal, to enhance performance. Is there something unwholesome about using a Nautilus machine,
rather than lifting rocks? Does the fact that Gatorade comes from a factory rather than a mountain stream shed any light on the morality of its use?
Sports are games, invented by people, with ever-changing rules. They can be anything we want them to be. The forward pass was considered a threat
to the integrity of football until everyone got used to it and decided that the new game was more interesting. This is a debate about preferences, not
about morality.''
,,None of these observations should be applied to children, where the harms, such as stunted growth, are real and irreversible, and where claims of
informed choices do not apply.''
