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 :-)

Gold Olympic skier slams IOC over anti-doping policy
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Canadian cross-country skier Becky Scott, gold medallist of the 2002 Winter Olympics, has slated the International Olympic Committee over its anti-doping strategy for the 2006 Games in Turin.

The IOC has lobbied the Italian government to relax its law against doping - which makes it a criminal offence - for the period of the Olympics. Becky Scott, who won her gold medal following the disqualifications of two Russian skiers, is supporting Italy's stand on the issue:

"What kind of message are they trying to send?" she says of the IOC. "I think that these laws essentially give athletes a choice — come to the Olympics clean or stay home. What is so wrong with that?"

The IOC has a Executive board meeting this week in Lausanne to decide its strategy, with the Games now less than four months away.

This report from the Toronto Star.
