21.00 Athletes & Performance Enhancing Drugs. When Winter Olympics begin Friday in Salt Lake City an unprecedented drug enforcement system will try to make sure the competition is clean. Since 1988 steroid scandal, officials have waged public war against performance enhancing drugs. SB; DickPound, head of World Anti-Doping Agency, says they hope to accomplish for Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake to be most drug free games in the history of Olympic movement.

Last week IOC banned a veteran bob sledder from the games after his initial drug suspension was crafted to end just before the olympics. Several other prominent drug offenders will compete. I; Dr John Hoberman asks when an athlete crosses the line. Many athletes use dietary supplements found in the grocery store.
