This Week Last Year: Drugs, Bombs, and World Records
by Blaine Moore on Saturday, August 26th, 2006 | No Comments
This week last year was actually fairly eventful.
- One of my most popular articles about Lance Armstrong were published this week last year after he had to deny more doping charges (which also had a follow up article a few days later.) I also wrote a detailed article about what EPO is.
- Eric Rudolph was due to be sentenced for his bombing of the Olympic Games and a few other locations.
- The world record was broken when Kenenisa Bekele ran a 10k in 26:17.53.
- The Nike women’s marathon sold out 9 weeks ahead of the race.
- In basketball news, Huggins quit his job as coach in Cincinatti and a brawl broke out in the African Championships between Nigeria and Algeria.
There were also some random football notes, a dog that boxes like a human, and my first forays into migrating my website from b2evolution to WordPress as my publishing platform.
