Good job team!


This is being reported on radio and news websites today:


A Pakistani powerlifter has been banned for two years after failing a doping test, the first athlete to test positive during the Beijing Paralympics.

Naveed Ahmed Butt tested positive for the steroid methandienone metabolites, the International Paralympic Committee said in a statement Tuesday.

The urine sample was taken Sept. 4, two days before the opening ceremony.

"In accordance with the IPC anti-doping code, and after a hearing of the IPC anti-doping committee, the IPC ratified the decision to disqualify Butt from the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games," the statement said, adding that a two-year ban had been imposed.
