What a dope

After being disqualified from the 2004 Raid World Championship for "seriously un-sportsmanlike behavior" it looks like team AXN Nike from Argentina has got a whole new problem to deal with.

There is a very short news item posted on the Raid site stating that team member Nadia Michel has tested positive for doping.

I can't be sure, but this may be the first time an athlete has tested positive for any form of performance enhancing drugs or practices in the history of adventure racing.

I'm working to get more details from the Saga d'Aventures, the event promoter based in France...stay tuned...er...browsered?
