In an attempt to get bridge recognized as an Olympic Sport, the World Federation of Bridge is imposing Olympic-style rules on its competitions. Thus it has stripped the silver medalist from a recent championship of her prize for refusing a drug test.
I swear, folks, sometimes you just can’t make up stuff this stupid.

How interesting. Any idea exactly what kind of drug could be used as a performance enhancer for bridge? I’m thinking she was probably hitting the crystal meth or speed so she wouldn’t fall asleep.
That’s certainly one of the stupid things about it. I mean, what else besides what you suggested? Strange intellect-enhancing drugs? Ancient psychic-power-inducing drugs? Bizarre x-ray vision drugs?
Or has there been a physical event added to bridge games that I’m unaware of? (“Trump Jump!”)
