Wary U.S. olympians will bring food to China (International Herald Tribune)

Found this interesting article via another blog (Maoxian.com):

Wary U.S. olympians will bring food to China (International Herald Tribune)

From the article... (highlights are mine)

When a caterer working for the United States Olympic Committee went to a supermarket in China last year, he encountered a piece of chicken — half of a breast — that measured 14 inches. "Enough to feed a family of eight," said Frank Puleo, a caterer from Staten Island who has traveled to China to handle food-related issues.

"We had it tested and it was so full of steroids that we never could have given it to athletes. They all would have tested positive."

Scary...
