And for some of the most commonly used enhancers, such as erythropoietin (EPO), there are still no institutionalized tests. It is said that EPO, which increases stamina by boosting an athlete's red blood cell count, can improve an athlete's performance in a 20-min. run by 30 sec., but it is otherwise a nightmare of a drug.

...fashion clothes that come with electronic devices sewn right into them. The new threads, which Levi's has dubbed ICD+, were created by Massimo Osti, and will debut next month in Europe. So far the line consists of four jackets, one of which features a built-in MP3 player, cell phone and microphone. Levi's says it has no plans to launch ICD+ in the U.S. And that's O.K. with us.
