Roids From Column A, Veterinary Drugs From Column B

The United States Olympic Committee will ship over 25,000 pounds of lean protein to China, rather than feed its athletes from entirely local sources, under the rationale of preventing its members from testing positive for steroids from eating contaminated food from the locals. The USOC is also concerned that local food is subject to high concentration of insecticides and illegal veterinary drugs.

There's a million questions that arise from this one, really, but I'll stick with four...

1) Doesn't this just make you even more interested in China for the Games? Wait, the dollar isn't as worth as much, either. Go book your travel plans now!

2) Assuming this isn't just some PR ploy, how do the Chinese athletes avoid testing for steroids at every instance?

3) Between the contaminated food, the rampant pollution, and the fact that the regime is planning on firing freaking rockets in the air to stop rain... not to mention Tibet and Falun Gong and Tiannemen Square... can we just rethink ever having an event in China again? (Besides, the site traffic from our Yao Ming post was crap.)

4) Seriously, the athletes are supposed to go to China for several weeks and not eat Chinese food?
