According to tests run on frozen urine samples from 1999, Lance Armstrong had EPO in his system. EPO is a substance that boosts red-blood cells. Armstrong has defiantly denied that there was EPO in the samples and all of the other samples tested since then have been negative. I'm not saying that Lance Armstrong is guilty or not guilty what I am saying is this: Baltimore Orioles player Rafael Palmiero vehemently denied that he used steroids and then got caught with them in his system, Jose Canseco admitted to using steroids, Mark McGuire refused to answer whether or not he did (but did use Andro at one time) so what's the difference between them saying they never used drugs and getting caught and Lance Armstrong?

Jaw dropper of the day: Or should I say eye dropper? An eye doctor in South Orange, NJ, was performing a cataract surgery when an SUV crashed into the building. The doctor had just put in the silicone lens with a plunger (probably not the kind used in the bathroom) when the vehicle smashed through the wall and stopped short of hitting the doctor and the patient. The doctor was thrown onto the patient (who wasn't totally sedated by the way) and only missed being hit because the vehicle's rear tires hit the curb. The 77-year old driver was backing his Toyota 4-Runner out of the parking spot only he didn't put it in reverse, he put it in drive. The driver had been leaving the office after making an appointment. I myself would probably look for another doctor at that point.

And where in the world is Patrick McDermott, Olivia Newton-John's boyfriend of nine years?

Enjoy your day,
