Bowers shows that it is clearly not the first. From early athletes who used rat poison and heroin to fight fatigue to modern Olympians who perform under the ever-present shadow of high tech hormones, stimulants and steroids, this editorial lays out both the history and the science behind athletic "doping" scandals. Bowers traces modern antidoping regulation to tragic accidents such as the death of British cyclist Tommy Simpson in the 1967 Tour de France, a race then notorious as a pharmaceutical free-for-all. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-usada-chief-science-officer-publishes.html Other Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:58:48 EST news269279907 Autism Speaks, the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, today announced its expanded collaboration with Sigma Advanced Genetic Engineering (SAGE) Labs, an initiative of Sigma Life, to develop the first rat models with modified autism associated genes, intended to accelerate discovery and translational autism research. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-08-autism-sage-labs-rat.html Autism spectrum disorders Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:14:11 EST news263124842
