"...seized a bottle of the drug at the Canada-U.S. border at Coutts, Alta., in December, 2003" This is not the coordinated cooperative border patrol the U.S. had in mind. "appears to be a new generation of steroid from tetrahydrogestrinone (THG)" "Because the DMT case is still under investigation in Canada, (Christiane) Ayotte (director of the WADA-accredited doping laboratory) would not say where the new drug came from or who was supposed to receive it.

Here we go again. What's it going to take to stop this? Is it even important to stop this? I think nothing short of a cultural shift - one that doesn't emphasize winning at all costs - will stop the cat-and-mouse game of elite-level athletics and anti-doping measures.

You know that drug violations in sports are out of hand when the sport of curling has doping violations/allegations... I don't think it was 'roids but who knows and why not take the test?...very strange.
