"Slinger Sanchez..." is an accurate and realistic portrayal of track
and field's dirty underbelly. The book claims to be fiction, however, much of
the story really happened -- I'm positive of that.

Subject: t-and-f: Slinger,
part 2?
When I first read
"Slinger Sanchez Running Gun," I didn't think that anything that list member
Bruce Gilkin wrote would ever happen. Too far fetched and too
strange.
After the last few
weeks, Slinger Sanchez seems to be more of an Olympic primer than a
fictional account. Bruce, if you're out there, I can't wait to read the
sequel!
Unfortunately, I'm
also reading more news releases from Sydney about the athletes who are not
competing than I am about the ones who are. Thanks to all for keeping the
information flowing to those of us who are locked in offices instead of being
somewhere (Canada, Mexico) where the Olympics are still an athletic event and
not "dueling documentaries."
