Well, her smile's gone now. A Spanish athlete has become the first to be sent home from the Olympics for being a drugs cheat. I wish they'd stop doing this. According to one Belgian paper, this kind of activity casts a shadow over the summer's other, presumably legitimate, sporting triumphs - soccer, Nadal, the Tour de France etc. One nice summarizing article, which also offers a couple of possible non-illegal reasons for Spain's recent sporting successes and which mentions drugs not at all, can be found here.
