My flavor, XXX, is safe, so I donut care! Here is a chart so you don’t get kicked off of your team!

It’s hanging up in locker rooms everywhere! BEWARE THE GUARANA!

A former female basketball player is suing Central Michigan University and women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara, alleging she terminated a scholarship because of differences in appearance and sexual orientation.

–from Central Michigan University’s cm-life.com

That’s right. The way she looked — like a girl by today’s Western culture. A heterosexual girl. Whaaaaa? Take a look at the difference between the two ladies at odds:

Heike was constantly harassed by her coach for not looking dykey. Shit you not. Heike has the scholaship official and the Board of Trustees on her side. Apparently Guevara has a history of ‘tude concerning girls who don’t look like lesbians. I’m all for girls not feeling the need to wear make up or not be made up all the time, but she made fun of her for having a boyfriend. That’s just dumb.

To be continued!

The game was played for five minutes until they finally called it due to the rain of snowballs on the opposing team’s goalie. Bilbao ended up beating the snowball-chucking Atleticos 3-2.

beautiful game

It’s not sexual, you dirty-minded weirdo.

It’s a fish de-boner! “My wife will like that!”

The kid that died from heart failure earlier in the hockey year, Alexei Cherepanov, has now been confirmed to have been found blood doping. The final word, from Hockey New’s The Canadian Press:

Russia’s federal Investigative Committee said a chemical analysis of the samples allowed experts to conclude “that for several months Alexei Cherepanov engaged in blood doping.” There was no elaboration, and a spokeswoman at the committee refused to comment further.

The statement also said Cherepanov in his final year suffered from myocarditis, a condition where not enough blood gets to the heart, and should not have been playing professional hockey.

The club’s medical team might carry legal liability in the episode, the statement added.

“A row of gross violations was committed by the medical brigade helping A. Cherepanov,” the statement said. Among them, doctors arrived on the scene a full 12 minutes after Cherepanov collapsed, and the battery on the defibrillator to attempt shock Cherepanov’s heart back into life was drained, the statement said.

This is dumb. What the hell was he using anyway?

The latest summer Olympics in Beijing saw the international introduction of the LZR Racer suits by Speedo. Michael Phelps wore the suit and got 8 medals. He wasn’t the only one breaking records wearing that thing. So I hear.

Now the kiddies in college and even younger are seeking out the perishable suits at 550$ a pop. The suits are in top form for three meets. After that, the quality drastically falls. Part of their awesomeness is how they fit the swimmer like skin. It stretches after being used and peeled off a few times. Budgets are stopping many teams from getting a set uniform, but those with the money can acquire them. Coaches and committees alike fear there will be a great divide between those competitors with the means and those without. Though the suits have not been scientifically shown to improve performance, the outcome of the Olympic Games this year is leading folks to believe otherwise.

Speedo is offering discounts to some NCAA teams to help combat cost, but many are asking for a ban on the suits in amateur events. An even worse outcome of this mess: kids quitting the sport due to financial issues. How bogus. As reported by the Washington Post, USA Swimming has already banned the suits for 12 years of age and younger. What makes this thing so great, other than look fanfuckingtastic on swimmer bods? Gizmodo’s Jack Lotus gave the lowdown in back in August,

The seams are ultrasonically welded together and the Hyrdo[sic] Form Compression system holds the swimmer’s abdomen and other bits at an optimal position for streamlining. The suit is made up off three pieces, which were cut from a three-dimensional pattern to hug the body more closely. Word on the street is it takes about 15 minutes or so to squeeze into this marvel of modern swimming pool engineering.

It looks like the suit’s awesomeness is equal to a brace for an ankle or a wrist. It provides external support for the muscles and joints with the tension of the fabric. Certain parts require more strength than others due to the nature of the muscle being covered, like the gluts or apparently the hamstrings. The tension is the best when the suit is new, and it breaks down the more it is used and stretched. Wraps suck after a few weeks of constant use. They lose their elasticity. Wraps don’t cost several hundred dollars, though.

People commenting on the article in Deadspin have decided that to end this coming separation is for swimmers to compete in the nude. Works for me.
