Curling gone wrong
Thanks to Nick for this article.
Curling first made its Olympic Debut in Nagano. Mostly played by Canadiennes and other penguins curling has suddenly slid again into the global sports spotlight. Sadly, this time it isn't the hot ice action that is catching people's eyes. It's curling's first Doping violation.
Mitchell Marks of University of Wisconsin claims that he did not refuse to take the drug test because of illegal substances in his system, but rather out of principle. He also claims that if he knew that there was going to be such a stink, he would have taken the test.
Marks has been put on a 2 year suspension and will not compete at the Turin Olympics next month year.

My highschool's curling coach was the computer science teacher, if that's any indication of how popular curling was for me growing up.
I like the blog facelift, by the way!
