Sports Comment: Propecia, The Olympics, IOC, Wayne Gretzky

-Propecia. Who knew? According to Zach Lund and Josée Theodore it works like a charm. Now, are there any endorsements lined up? Lund was given the major political shaft. His Federation and fellow athletes should stand firmly behind him. It would be nice if they would protest the absurd last minute call to ban him.

-Corrupt, filled with nepotism and bureaucratic red tape. Sounds like many corporations and political parties. Isn't it interesting to note that the one organization on the planet that seeks to pander to human virtues -gulp, the Olympics - has succumbed to the vices we find in other international bodies? Like the UN for example. The Olympics are a joke in many ways in and in many languages.

-Should he or shouldn't he? Personally, Gretzky did the right thing going to Torino. If not, simply because many in the media think he should stay home. Suggesting otherwise based on the facts lacks proper rational logic.In any event, professional athletes should not be allowed to participate at the Olympics. It's like asking a punk band to perform at a Jazz festival. Speaking of which, the Montreal version is not too far off from crossing that line.
