Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Five months ahead of 2006 Winter Olympics: "Organised crime is in control of sports doping"
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

With the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics only five months away, a leading Italian official is alleging that organised crime groups control the trafficking of banned performance-enhancing substances across Europe.

Sandro Donati, head of research with the Italian Olympic Committee, claims to have evidence that criminal gangs supply competitors with illegal drugs to gain high profits.

This report from Guardian Unlimited.

In skiing, drug doping has mainly affected the nordic sports - primarily cross-country skiing where stamina and endurance are so important. Two Russian cross-country skiers were stripped of medals after the 2002 Winter Games at Salt Lake City, having failed drug tests. Hans Knauss, the Austrian Alpine racer, was given an 18-month ban from competition last March by the International Ski Federation. He had ingested an anabolic steroid from a food supplement.
