always go with the Eddie Murphy defense

I'm curious about the courtroom dialogue:

Court Member: "Mr. Barber, you understand you are here today due to a positive test?"
Barber: "I don't understand it - I don't do drugs"
Court Member: "Then how do you explain your positive test?"
Barber: I was french kissing a prostitute the night before"
Court Member: awkward pause

You hope

A little more info has come to light:

To explain his doping violation, Barber said that he posted in Craigslist’s casual encounter section under a pseudonym to solicit a drug- and disease-free “professional” woman, to help relieve stress the night before the trials in Edmonton. A man responded with pictures of a woman, and informed Barber that the woman was a mother of two, which Barber liked because he thought that meant she would be “more cautious” and “reserved.”


The woman spoke at the hearing, and said that unbeknownst to Barber she had snorted cocaine before going to the hotel, and then snorted more cocaine in the hotel bathroom just before he arrived. Barber said he didn’t notice anything unusual while kissing the woman, and said that her behavior was normal, if a little bit tipsy. (She offered him a glass of alcohol, but he declined.) After 30 minutes the sexual encounter was over, and Barber went back to his hotel room and slept.

I think it was just the same species of skeeter that carries zika.
not a zika positive (yet)

3 on 3 hoops added to the 2020 games. Now the NHL players can compete in the Olympics after all. I guess roller derby will have to wait its turn now however.

I don't think I like that very much, but then I haven't like very many of the additions in recent recent years (get off my lawn!).

What I still would like to see the most and don't understand why they don't consider it is mixed-gender events. Why not have a 4x100 (or whatever distance) relay event for example - track or swimming - with two men and two women?
