Hey, the U.S.A. men's softball team has won the gold!!!! So far, the USA has won 22 gold, 22 silver, and 15 bronze....total of 59. These olympics are very addicting. I didn't think I would watch much, but I have watched more this year than I have ever watched before.

One of the Russian competitors for the shot put lost her gold medal due to testing positive for steroid stanazolol. It seems as if this was the second time she has tested positive for drugs. She tested positive in 1999, and was banned for a time from the sport. Now, that she has tested positive again, she is now banned from the sport for life.

It was also noted that 9 weightlifters, from different countries, have also tested positive for drugs, which disqualified them. They expect to drug test quite a few more, and they also expect quite a few will test positive.

Today, at 11:00, the women's volleyball team will play. I have yet to see them play. I know that I will be glued to the TV tonight watching some more.
