OLYMPIC DOPING

[Adventure Racer]

The crucial point is the wording - it doesn't say "No athletes were doping at these Games"...

looks like they were really concerned about the menace of alcohol in sport back in 1968.

Alcohol is still on the WADA prohibited substances list for some sports, as below
http://www.wada-ama.org/rtecontent/docu ... ist_En.pdf

Alcohol (ethanol) is prohibited In-Competition only, in the following sports. Detection will be conducted by analysis of breath and/or blood. The doping violation threshold (haematological values) for each Federation is reported in parenthesis.
• Aeronautic (FAI) (0.20 g/L)
• Archery (FITA, IPC) (0.10 g/L)
• Automobile (FIA) (0.10 g/L)
• Boules (IPC bowls) (0.10 g/L)
• Karate (WKF) (0.10 g/L)
• Modern Pentathlon (UIPM) (0.10 g/L) for disciplines involving shooting
• Motorcycling (FIM) (0.10 g/L)
• Powerboating (UIM) (0.30 g/L)

I can understand why sports that involve fighting, shooting and driving aren't keen on p*ssed up participants, but Boules??

Have you ever played with your boules under the influence?
