Won't some of the drug tests be skewed? Wayne T. Armbrust wrote: This is absolutely absurd, terminal political correctness. A male to female (so-called) transsexual, even after undergoing hormone therapy, will still have much higher strength indexes than women. Can the IOC cram this down the throat of the IAAF?

Also, wasn't gender testing stopped years ago? I suppose the ultimate political correctness would be to eliminate separate male and female events. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Martin J.

If she was paid less than comparible assistants, then she has a good claim regarding past compensation; however, she probably should lose her claim on losing out on the weight event coach position based on Lance's longer, better, and more current athletic career. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Nov 13, 2003 10:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: t-and-f: Oregon coach claims sex bias Former Oregon coach and national javelin champion claims she got a raw deal when Lance Deal was named throws coach for the recently combined men's and women's track program. full story at: http://www.registerguard.com/news/2003/11/13/a1.sp.sallyharmoncase.1113.html Jim Tysell

People have to earn my trust- I don't give it away. And lately the IOC isn't exactly on a hot streak of proving that they have ANYBODY'S best interest in mind except their own wallet and political power. which means that everyone should have the opportunity to compete. Hey that means I can compete next year in Atlanta too, at age 47! After all you don't want politically incorrect age discrimination do you? Or discrimination against the fitness-challenged? No, let EVERYONE compete. Just give everybody world wide the same day off every four years, to go out to the nearest track, and call it an 'everybody participates' Olympics. This is garbage and you know it. Life is full of choices. If Michael Johnson chose to have somebody chop off his Johnson, he could no longer compete as MJ. ..h RT

Also, notice that they didn't really specify if the comparable assistants were in different sports. My guess is the assistant track coaches aren't getting free cars and double her salary. Football, quite likely. Apples and oranges, though.
