Cyclists Warned of Tainted Tacos

Tainted tacos? Athletes warned of steroids in Mexican meat

 

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) - Germany's anti-doping agency has warned athletes about steroid-tainted meat in Mexico that could lead to positive tests.

The NADA warning says the meat in Mexico is more tainted with clenbuterol than in China.

It says athletes traveling to Mexico should be "very careful" about what they eat. The warning was issued after two travelers were tested upon their return from Mexico.

Three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador has based his defense for a positive test on tainted meat in Spain. The world anti-doping agency has appealed against his clearance by the Spanish cycling federation.

MacNeil/Lehrer Journalism

JIM LEHRER: People often ask me if there are guidelines in our practice of what I like to call MacNeil/Lehrer journalism. Well, yes, there are. And here they are:

* Do nothing I cannot defend.

* Cover, write and present every story with the care I would want if the story were about me.

* Assume there is at least one other side or version to every story.

* Assume the viewer is as smart and as caring and as good a person as I am.

* Assume the same about all people on whom I report.

* Assume personal lives are a private matter, until a legitimate turn in the story absolutely mandates otherwise.

* Carefully separate opinion and analysis from straight news stories, and clearly label everything.

* Do not use anonymous sources or blind quotes, except on rare and monumental occasions.

* No one should ever be allowed to attack another anonymously.

* And, finally, I am not in the entertainment business.

Here is how I closed a speech about our changes to our PBS stations family last spring:

"We really are the fortunate ones in the current tumultuous world of journalism right now. When we wake up in the morning, we only have to decide what the news is and how we are going to cover it. We never have to decide who we are and why we are there."

That is the way it has been for these nearly 35 years. And that's the way it will be forever. And for the NewsHour, there will always be a forever.
