		The cases of Chelimo, dos Santos and Yegorova demonstrate that it is becoming increasingly hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad in the athletics drugs war.

	Sandrock: 'Trivia' doesn't really describe this book
		Take, for example, the following question, from the chapter "Distance Aces": "Although perhaps better known as a great road racer, his 27:08.23 world-record performance on the track at Berlin in 1989 brought the 27-minute barrier into "shootin' range" for those who followed.
		Local running aficionados may know that the answer is Barrios, a Boulder resident for nearly 20 years.
		Those so inclined can look further into that race and see who paced Barrios, who went on to become the first man to run under 27 minutes, what Bolder Boulder elite runner Ondieki married, and how Chelimo died of a mysterious illness at a young age.

		The Barcelona crowd jeered the result, because Hammou Boutayeb, a teammate of Skah's who had been lapped in the race, had sped up and seemed to obstruct Chelimo the last three laps.
		Officials disqualified Skah for being paced, and Chelimo then got the gold medal, as a distraught Skah pleaded his innocence.
