AGAIN????? Unbelievable!!!! Did the Japanese Olympic Committee squeal again, like they did with Adrian Annus in 2004, demanding that the medal winners this time (as with last time) be given a special drug test after they'd left the Olympic Village, and had been partying for three days in celebration of their medal wins?

I sincerely hope that these tests are wrong, and that Murofushi gets the nothing he earned at the Olympics in Beijing.

Obviously, those two thought they could get away with it. It's good to see that Murofushi, as well as other non-cheaters, stuck to their guns and didn't take any drugs to cheat. Let this be a lesson to all would-be cheaters: Cheaters never win!

why don't they do the doping test right before the competition?

All countries must arrange doping test before sending their contigent to Olympics to save public money and avoid shame and disrespect to nations and players of world class.

partying for three days in celebration of their medal wins

I am sure this true, because everyone knows athletes party by drinking performance enhancing alcohol, perhaps the were drinking red bull and vodka?

Good Jorb - is it not possible that alcohol -- especially strong alcohol -- could affect drug testing results? After all, Murofushi's being "awarded" the Gold in `04 was because Adrian Annus refused ot take a drug terst after he'd been home in Hungary for several days, and his medal was stripped becauseo fan allegation, not becazuse of a positive test result. While these two have supposedly tested positive, I really do wonder if it really was a performance-enhancing durg. Innocent until proven guilty (at least, in the real world. In Good Jorb's world, however........................).
