I.O.C. DHMO Scam

When Romanian gymnast Andreea Raducan was stripped by
the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) of a gold
medal for taking a non-prescription cold medication at
the summer Olympic Games in Sydney, many felt the
penalty was too severe.

New information coming to light suggests that while
the I.O.C. was busy disqualifying athletes for taking
doctor-prescribed cold and flu medicines, a scandal
now being dubbed "SniffleGate" by members of the
media, a silent conspiracy worthy of an Oliver Stone
film was going on behind the scenes involving the
substance Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO).

In a recent survey of athletes, and on conditions of
anonymity, 100% claimed to be actively, or recently,
using DHMO as a performance enhancer.  Although this
widespread use of DHMO is well-known to the
rule-makers at the I.O.C., they refuse to punish any
athletes for its use or abuse.

Some athletes and coaches theorize that "SniffleGate"
is a cleverly crafted attempt by the I.O.C. to divert
attention from the DHMO issue, possibly due to an
alleged connection between the I.O.C. and businesses
that provide DHMO-laced products.  Unfortunately, the
I.O.C. has not commented on DHMO and its relation to
"SniffleGate," which has only fanned the fires of
controversy in the media.

Tests for DHMO in blood and urine are widely available,
and are among the simplest for doctors to perform.
