Tents Simulating High Altitude Could Be Grounded

Maybe they should just make all athletes live at sea level. And follow the same exact training regimen. And be genetic clones of each other ... that'd make the games ultimately "fair", eh?

The World Anti-Doping Agency is considering a ban on athletes’ use of altitude tents and rooms.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
