It is too sad but it must be admitted that it looks like the professional sport is not so competitions between sportmen as competition between pharmacological preparations today. Doping is really serious problem among sportmen and since the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency at the European Championships in 1999 more and more athletes are being caught in using steroids, amphetamines, stimulants or cannabinoids. Here is only very short list of some of them.
Ben Johnson have been take "stanozolol" and disqualified. 1993.
Diego Maradona. was tested positive in a drugs test for ephedrine doping. 1994.
Javier Sotomayor, claimed his positive test for cocaine. 1999.
Former Olympic hurdles champion Ludmila Engquist had disappeared after getting positive results from a doping test on Lillehammer's Olympic bobsled track. 2002.
Marco Pantani was one of the best climbers of all times in professional road bicycle racing. His career was dogged by drug allegations in the 1999 Giro de Italia. Then he died of a cocaine overdose in 2004.
It has brought and will bring yet a lot of disappointment and broken lives.
Is there the choise, victory or life?
Doping in sport.
DNA. Genealogy
In 1953 molecular biologist Francis Crick announced discovery the secret of life. Researcher was shared a 1962 Nobel Prize along with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins for their discovery of DNA.
What is this DNA? It's the test examined the nucleotides at specific locations on a person's DNA for genetic genealogy purposes. Last times it has become a very popular thing. We can find out a great number medical testing providers offered a full range of genetic, paternity and DNA testing services. Namely the ancestry tests of Y chromosome (Y-DNA) testing and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing are the most popular now. No wonder that those who don’t know one's genealogy are longing to determine the identification. Autosomal tests allow to measure an individual's mixed ethnic heritage. And this is continuing to be the most popular. Oxford Ancestors was the world's first company to harness the power and precision of modern DNA-based genetics for use in genealogy but now there is no problem to find such medical service placed more close to your.

One wants to be in hope for the first step will be successful.
Will Tobacco Taxes go to health insurance Program.
I suppose that there is right way to help to children's health insurance Program using Tobacco Taxes as it was suggested by Democrats. Democratic lawmakers will push for $50 billion in new funding for the State Children's Health Insurance Program over the next five years. To pay for that increase, they must find new sources of revenue or cut existing programs and it looks that they've found ones.
Still, the question now is not whether the tobacco tax will go up, but how much it will go up, said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, an advocacy group that promotes universal health insurance. Pollack said his assessment was based on 'frequent and relatively recent conversations' with the committees that have jurisdiction over SCHIP. Democrats from the House and the Senate are expected to unveil their respective SCHIP proposals soon.
