Time for the IOC and cycling to take doping seriously?

Apparently, if we can trust Tyler Hamilton's confession, the IOC and international cycling federations are more or less testing only to catch the most careless dopers.  Either they need to require very routine testing of all participants--I'd suggest monthly as a great start--or perhaps it would be just as well to start ignoring world class "athletics".  I'm leaning towards the latter.

And in other news, another great reason NOT to trust your medical care to the government from the United Kingdom.  A woman has died after coming to the hospital twice with symptoms consistent with the heart trouble which killed her, and no doctor ever bothered to see her.
