Doping for Curling? Really??



So the Russians are still doping for the Olympics? In curling no less. WHAT FOR? What athletic ability is needed for curling? I could see taking something to stay awake.

How did curling ever become an Olympic sport? You could toss a rock with a beer bottle in one hand, the rock in the other, and a cigar sticking out of your mouth. No need to be engaged in strenuous exercises for strength and endurance. You don’t have to be able to run. You don’t have to be able to jump. You don’t have to have an unusual aerobic capacity.

If curling is an Olympic sport, why not snowball fighting? Or scraping ice off of windshields? Or making angels in the snow? The athletic challenges are similar it seems to me.
