“raining right now in Beijing, so not sure if I should go to the women's 20K race in the Bird's Nest or not. I will be under the roof however, so only the athletes will be getting wet ;-(”

"U.S. swimmer Jessica Hardy was booted from the Olympic Summer Games for using the banned substance Clenbuterol. In what seems to be typical inconsistency on the part of the IOC, some of Hardy's competitors and team-mates are using similar asthma drugs legally. Most notably, Dara Torres, who at 41 is swimming faster than ever. Yet she claims she is as clean as an Irish whistle." - Millard Baker via Bookmarklet

I tend to think this room could use some news as well. I've compiled a list of a number of places where you can get news from Beijing via RSS, maybe this could help.
