ABC News: Bode Suggests Bonds, Armstrong Cheating

ABC News: Bode Suggests Bonds, Armstrong Cheating: "GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany - Here we go again with Bode Miller. Just as the brash World Cup champion skier decided to skip this weekend's events to rest up for the Turin Games and get away from media scrutiny, Miller suggested in an interview with Rolling Stone that Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong took performance-enhancing drugs.
'Right now, if you want to cheat, you can: Barry Bonds and those guys are just knowingly cheating, but there's all sorts of loopholes,' he told the magazine.' If you say it has to be 'knowingly,' you do what Lance (Armstrong) and all those guys do, where every morning their doctor gives them a box of pills and they don't ask anything, they just take the pills.'
Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, declined to respond to Miller's comments. Telephone and email messages left with Armstrong representatives were not immediately returned Thursday."

Tara Reid Strikes Again -

"Jan. 23, 2006 issue - It was shaping up to be a perfect honeymoon for George Smith and Jennifer Hagel Smith. Touring the Mediterranean aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship last summer, the couple, both 26, were enthralled by the luxurious casino in Monte Carlo and the shimmering Aegean Sea. On the Greek island of Mykonos on July 4—six days into their journey—George happened to meet the actress Tara Reid, with whom he giddily took a photo. But the Smiths' idyllic trip soon took a disastrous turn. Later that night on the ship, George somehow went overboard."

Skiing drunk 'not easy,' Bode says - Winter Olympics - MSNBC.com

Skiing drunk 'not easy,' Bode says - Winter Olympics - MSNBC.com: "NEW YORK - Bode Miller knows he puts his life at risk when he skis drunk, but the outspoken Olympic favorite admits he may try the dangerous activity again.
�Talk about a hard challenge right there. ... If you ever tried to ski when you�re wasted, it�s not easy,� Miller told �60 Minutes� for a segment that will air Sunday. �Try and ski a slalom when ... you hit a gate less than every one second, so it�s risky. You�re putting your life at risk. ... It�s like driving drunk, only there are no rules about it in ski racing.�
Asked if the risk meant he would never ski drunk again, Miller replied �No, I�m not saying that.�"
