The runner who took the gold medal in 1976, Waldemar Cierpinski, was cheating via a massive, organized doping program run by the East German government. THis was revealed in intricate detail, through the records they kept, after East and West Germany were reunited. To their eternal shame, the IOC still hasn't revoked Cierpinski's gold medal. Frank SHorter should be given the gold for that marathon. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
