you want to implant it? can't I just wear a watch unit... I promise not to lose it.

GPS tracking for athletes?
Two Swedish Olympic track and field champions, Carolina Klüft, heptathlon, and Stefan Holm, high jump, have come out in support of the idea of having athletes implanted with GPS chips to more easily track their whereabouts for antidoping controls.
"I have suggested earlier that you could operate a data chip under the skin on athletes on a certain level. Or maybe use a chain ring with a GPS transmitter on the training bag. Then everyone would know where to find us for tests. I wouldn't complain. I think we are obligated to accept most things to stop doping," said Klüft who won the women's pentathlon gold in Athens 2004. "You are so supervised anyway so it wouldn't make much of a difference.
"That would be the easiest way even though it sounds science fiction and absurd," said high jump champion Stefan Holm.
The idea of GPS implants was debated earlier this year by Australian blood doping expert Michael Ashenden on an Icelandic forum in November. Ashenden described the merits of implementing the system on the forum www.thepulse2007.com, "With the GPS system you can establish the precise whereabouts of the athlete. If the athlete is not in the position the location system says when NADA (National Anti Doping Agency) wants to take a test, then he must be penalized."
It is the same as the old way, where the athletes have to inform the anti-doping authorities of their whereabouts 24 hours a day, and be in a certain place at a certain time every day where they can be located."
Ashenden went on to opine that the system would be inexpensive and no more intrusive than the current system. This year saw the most famous case of whereabouts violations occur when Tour de France leader Michael Rasmussen was dismissed from his team mid-race for lying about his training locations prior to the Tour.

merry xmas eh!
Xmas, PKs first xmas, Grandmame is spoiling her, we're spoiling our little princess and i'm enjoying a couple beers with Eric and Fraser (traditional ale - dark). Monday football is about to start, PK is smiling, beer is cold...... ahhhhh.
As much as Xmas is great I'm really looking forward to getting back at it in Tucson come January. The squad this year looks fantastic, everyone is very motivated and ready for a great year. Paul Tichelaar is joining our squad full time and we're excited to have him, he's an amazing athlete and heck of a good guy, it's going to be fun to watch him take it up another level (again).
We're headed to Tucson for a month then Flagstaff for two 3 week camps up until the worlds in Vancouver. Joel and I met at MO:LE cafe the other day and "penned" the plan. A couple races in the southern Hemisphere before coming back to NA and getting in a last altitude camp in Flag. We'll test our fitness in Madrid on May 25th to see where we're at and then head home to Vic for some tune up stuff before worlds. After worlds we're having a small break before beginning the push to Beijing. We'll race in Europe in mid July to get some race specific fitness then come back in late July to Victoria and finish off the details, it's a great plan and I'm looking forward to 2008.
Until then, it's football and a few nice dark beers.
