GOP accused of playing politics with BALCO

These days everything is political -- so it should come as no surprise that the crackdown on steroids in sports is producing some political fireworks.

At issue here: the nonprofit anti-doping agency leading the crackdown on Olympic athletes, and its very interesting Republican ties.

---------

Records show that the nonprofit received nearly $7 million last year -- or about two-thirds of its funding -- from a grant dispensed by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

---------

When it rains, it pours... or something like that :)

2. BALCO

For a great article concerning BALCO, read the May 2004 issue of Playboy magazine. A man named Jonathan Littman did extensive research on this company, and blows the lid off of them, However, there is nothing political about it, just good reporting.
