		Supporting Bilbao is vaguely like being a Knicks fan — most of the time you come away from a game annoyed and generally dissatisfied, and most of the fans have some kind of ties to the Bilbao region.
		I’d been impressed by the intensity of the Bilbao fans when they came to Salamanca the previous Sunday, and I figured a home game would be twice as exciting.
		Incidentally, here’s what happened on the field: Basically, Athletic’s defense fell apart and their offense seemed unable to come up with a plan other than "lob the ball in to Urzaiz" (their tall, bleached-blonde celebrity center forward, who had a chance to match a 50-year-old record for goals scored in consecutive games but blew it).

		Posted: Wednesday April 02, 2003 6:44 AM MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Soccer club Athletic de Bilbao is upset about a judge's recommendation that its midfielder Carlos Gurpegi should be suspended for two years for failing a drug test.
		The Basque club reproached judge Jose Manuel Fraile for ignoring new evidence it provided which suggested that Gurpegi's excessive level of 19-Norandrosterone resulted from physical stress and not the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone.
		Fraile, who was appointed by the Spanish soccer federation to investigate the case, refused to consider the findings of Bilbao's study as it was not conducted in an official laboratory.

		La segunda parte se inició de manera muy diferente a la primera, con el Athletic en plan dominador, mostrándose muy superior a los hombres de José María Amorrortu, a los que les costaba Dios y ayuda llegar con peligro a la portería de Daniel Aranzubía.
