Internet TV brings live coverage of Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
Out of respect for Georgian luge athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili, who passed away in a tragic accident earlier today at The Whistler Sliding Centre, flags were lowered to half-mast during the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
The Georgian National Olympic Committee and its athletes wore black armbands and a black mark was placed on the Georgian flag to symbolize their mourning. International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge, on behalf of the IOC, International Federations (IF) and VANOC, made a statement about the athlete’s untimely death and expressed sincere condolences.
WASHINGTON: Athletes in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games are likely to use blood-doping to boost their performances, experts have warned.
The banned practice involves getting a blood transfusion near game time to get more, richer blood than nature can produce.
Some athletes practice this because blood carries oxygen to the muscles, so more blood means more oxygen-and potentially better performances.
There are two known types of blood doping. One uses ordinary transfusions, and that's easy to catch today, says Harvey Klein, chief of transfusion medicine at the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
