Marion the non-librarian

Maybe I'm a pie-eyed optimist, or maybe I put top athletes up on an undeserved pedestal, or have some sort of adulatory blind spot, but I am starting to think that there's a urine testing lab somewhere with their equipment all out of whack, (or a lab employee with a destructive anti-American bias.) Landis, Marion Jones and Justin Gatlin can't really all be cheating at the same time with the same chemical and failing the same test, can they?

M. Jones Failed Drug Test in June

And really if those three are doing it, doesn't that all but entail that, as the saying goes, "everybody does it." And is it not then true that, as Stephen Colbert would say, "if everybody's doing it, then nobody's doing it."
