More doping
This time, it's pigeons. And the Royal Pigeon Racing Association is trying to put a stop to it! I kid you not:
"The droppings are collected from the loft, placed in the containers, put into the bag and sent back to us here at Cheltenham."If pigeon-handlers will dope their birds, is there any hope for drug-free racing of any kind?
The reason the association needs to get tough is because there is big money at stake in pigeon racing. Competitors can win up to £20,000.
