But at least half theproblem comes from the sport’s desperately sincere efforts to be clean; nosport has tried harder to catch drugs cheats no sport has succeeded incatching so many. There’ll be drugs questions for ever in track and field. We must accept that.

Sports mascots are cash-generators
Toronto Star – Nov 28, 2007

Yesterday Vancouver 2010 added to the mounting list with a few far more fanciful creatures: a sea bear a sasquatch and a thunderbird named Sumi. In the intervening century sports mascots have inspired loyalty and enmity courted controversy and earned bucket loads of cash for their employers. They are so ubiquitous it seems no love between a fan and his team can be cemented without a plush anthropomorphic animal standing in between to hug out the deal.
