More Gold!

From Bonnie Hamre, About.com GuideAugust 13, 2003

Follow me on:

In the PanAmerican games, Argentina won gold in men's futbol/soccer and in women's speed skating. Peru and Venezuela won for karate, but the spirit of the games is overshadowed by a US team member's use of ephedrine. This is the second instance of drug use, with a Surinamese player the first. For more of the games, the results and the possible consequences of the drug use, read Dopaje y gol de oro, protagonistas en Panamericanos from Reuters, in Spanish.
