Logan Ryan Has A Bad Case Of White Face

Is it just me or does Logan Ryan look like a white dude with black skin? 

I don't know, whatever. Thanks for that pick.

Tony Allen Kicks Chris Paul In The Face

Great stuff. Tony Allen officially becomes the first NBA player to display his karate abilities during a regular season game.  And to believe those asshole refs called that foul! I mean look at Tony's bruised shin! Is that Tim Donaghy back calling the shots?

Whatever, Tony Allen just changed the game of basketball for the rest of time. Basketball ninjas are about to break out.

Play Of The Weekend

Late play of the weekend surfacing out of D2 Lincoln University. Kinda strange that this kid consciously decided to to do a frontflip, right?. Like that's not an accidental flip, he just saw the defender coming and thought "fuck it, I'll do a front flip".

Psycho Dolphins Strike Again

Have you guys ever wanted to see a dolphin gleefully banging a dead fish?



If you said yes, great! Here you go, now direct yourself to the nearest cliff and jump off of it. These sick fucks have been terrorizing our oceans since the dawn of time. One necrophilia loving Flipper is nothing compared to the gangs of dolphin rapists that kidnap humans and take them to rape caves. You don't have to believe me, but don't come crying to me after a "playful" dolphin gets a little to frisky with you. Next time you see one of these perves I suggest you punch it square in its bottlenose face.

Cop Fires 41 Rounds At Unarmed Driver, Hits 3 Shots

Dallas-For only the second time in 17 years, a Dallas County, Tex.,  grand jury has indicted a police officer for wrongly killing a suspect in the line of duty. Patrick Tuter is being held on an unusually high $100,000 bail after his indictment for manslaughter in the death of 25-year-old Michael Vincent Allen on August 31 of last year.

Prosecutors said they did not consider the fired Garland police officer a threat to flee, and were prepared to let bail go as low as $10,000. But Judge Lena Levario said that in her view, Tuter (pictured) posed a threat to public safety and needed to be locked up. Typical bail in manslaughter cases is about $25,000, the Dallas Morning News reported.

If he makes bail, Tuter is not allowed to hold any job that requires him to use a weapon.

From the facts of the case, Tuter appears not only trigger-happy, but also an inaccurate shot. He is accused of killing Allen, who was unarmed, after a half-hour chase during which speeds hit 100 miles per hour along a North Dallas freeway, ending up with Allen cornered in cul-de-sac in Mesquite.

According to one eyewitness to the shooting, Allen’s white GMC pickup was trapped between two cop cars. That’s when Tuter, according to a witness, shouted for Allen to get out of the truck but then without waiting more than a few seconds, opened fire.

He unloaded 41 rounds, pausing at least once to reload despite taking no return fire from Allen who was not in possession of a firearm. Three of those shots hit Allen, killing him. But 38 of Tuter’s shots missed their target.

The other officer at the scene fired no shots and actually took cover behind his squad car as Tuter continued to pump bullets at the immobilized pickup truck.

The chase began when Tuter noticed the pickup, which had been involved in a chase in nearby Sachse a few mights before.

Tuter crashed his vehicle into the pickup before firing. Allen, the father of one, died without getting out of the driver’s seat. Originally, police claimed that Allen rammed Tuter’s vehicle. But dashboard cam video showed that the reverse was actually the case.

“More and more, we’re learning that the account given by the police officer is not what actually occurred,” said Don Tittle, a lawyer who represents Allen’s family in a civil suit against Tuter for wrongful death. “That should be pretty alarming. It should certainly cause you to wonder in cases where there’s no video at all.”

Tuter faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted on the manslaughter charge.

Remind me to never piss off Patrick Tuter. This guy has all the right kind of crazy to get his own ridiculous spin off show. Who could even right a more reckless story for a badass cop? It reminds of the movie The Other Guys when Samuel L and The Rock go balls out and destroy the city while just chasing down some guys who had like an ounce of weed on them. At least those bad guys had guns and "drugs" on them, this poor dude Mike had just been in a chase a couple nights ago. Instead of pulling him over and arresting him my man Tuter decides to ram Mike's truck, yell "come out with your hands up", and then just unload 41 rounds into the truck. 41 rounds... 38 misses. 

ps- Don Tittle, is it immature to giggle at that?
 Fun fact: a tittle is the little dot that hangs out above an "i" or "j".

Super Awkward Slow-Mo Of College Kids Posing For Pictures

Posing for pictures may be the sneaky most difficult thing to do in college. Do you try to let your friends know you're "goin' wild" at college with a tongue out face like at the :09 mark? Or do you pretend you're getting raped by an aggressive asian like the chick from :23? Any way you do it, deciding your pose and then waiting for the camera to take the picture always feels like fooooreeevveeerrr. (read that like the gif, and if you don't know what it's from, you're old)

Well when the flash never goes off and the picture ends up being a recording, well that's when you get one of the most awkwardly awesome videos on the internet right now.

PS- I think I nailed the picture decision making during Halloween.

Included with a bonus, best photobomb, but worst picture of me of all time.

Tre Mason Catches Squirrels For Speed

Auburn- What does it take to be an Auburn running back? Learning to chase and catch squirrels with your bare hands is a start.

Squirrel chasing, catching and hopefully, releasing is becoming a rite of passage for Auburn running backs trying to prove their speed and immune system while tracking a possible rabies-stricken squirrel through the woods of Alabama.

Tre Mason posted a picture on Instagram and Twitter late Monday evening of himself holding a squirrel with the caption: "Catch squirrels to test your speed!"

Mason has been chasing squirrels to test his speed since September when he tweeted: "Just caught my first squirrel. Did it on the 2nd try!

Is this all it takes to play D1 football? Christ, If I hadn't given up on chasing squirrels when I was 10 years old I'd be the next Wes Welker. I used to pretend I was a predator, just smokin squirrels with rocks left and right, hoping to wipe out the population. Realistically, did I ever hit one? No, those things are agile as fuck, but I was practicing throwing, not catching. If I could do it over again, I'm chasing those fuzzy rats on all fours until I've got 4.4 40 speed. Next step would be catching butterflies until I'm athletic, then you've got yourself a new D1 prospect.

First Transgender Victoria's Secret Model

Yahoo- Carmen Carrera is having her moment. Ever since twirling onto the pop-culture stage as a scantily clad contestant on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2011, the New Jersey native, born a boy named Christopher, has been enjoying a fast ascension as a model. 

After publicly transitioning to female after her stint on the reality show, Carrera has signed with Elite Model Management, walked the runway for designer Marco Marco during last month’s LA Fashion Week, and been featured twice in W magazine, most recently in a 13-page spread shot by Steven Meisel for the September issue. 

Now she’s the subject of a Change.org petition created by fans to request that Victoria’s Secret sign Carerra as the brand’s first transgender model. The effort has already garnered more than 20,000 signatures — and a slew of supportive comments — since its creation by Marco Regalado of California on Monday. 

“I'm amazed!” Carrera wrote on Facebook on Tuesday in response to the fast-growing support. “And just to make it clear, this petition is not to force VS to do anything. It's to prove that the world is ready for change and possibilities are endless!” Victoria's Secret did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Yahoo Shine.

“Gender does not exist in terms of beauty,” Carrera notes on her website. And judging by the recent swell of transgender visibility in the modeling world, she seems to have a point.


 Androgynous Serbian male model Andrej Pejic (who scored the cover of Serbian Elle earlier this year) first broke ground in 2011, when she walked both the men’s and women’s runways forJean-Paul Gaultier; that’s the same year transsexual model Lea T of Brazil appeared on the cover of Brazilian Elle, and Dutch Valentijn de Hingh was featured in the pages of Italian Vogue. 

Trans beauty queen Jenna Talackova forced Donald Trumpand his Miss Universe Canada pageant to end its ban on transgender contestants in 2012. And more recently, two non-transgender bio-girls, Elliott Sailors and Casey Legler, have found success working as male models — which wouldn’t surprise the supporters of Carrera’s Change.org petition.

“Gender in America is reaching a point where it is no longer important what you were born as but what you make of yourself, and Ms. Carrera is a stunning example of that,” notes signer Jered Lawson of California. “Anyone who has dreams should sign this.”


Hmm...

I don't know what to say here. Is this chick hot? 100% yes, but she used to be this.

So where the fuck does this leave us. A transgender Victoria's Secret model, never would've thought I'd see the day. To be honest never actually thought about it before because who would've thought a transgender chick could be hot. Can't bang her cause she used to be a he, but is it weird to look? I don't know, fuck this.

Incognito Called Warren Sapp The N word 2 Years Ago

What a back and forth story! Richie's a bully, no wait the coaches told him to do it. Richie's racist, no wait he's an honorary black person. NO WAIT WE'VE GOT IT! Richie is a racist-bully! Warren Sapp told Dan Patrick that, while lined up against Incognito, Richie called him a nigger. This is all coming out while people start realizing just how horrible his track record really is. He left Nebraska after being suspended three separate times for fighting/casual assault charges. Then he went to Oregon and was kicked off the team. Next he entered the NFL and in 5 seasons with the Rams he managed to get 38 penalties in 44 games, 7 of which were unnecessary roughness. This lead him to be named the dirtiest player in the NFL. The whole story about his bullying of Jonathan Martin, are you  guys sure he's really a bully yet? Yes.

This guy is simply a massive dickhead. Luckily for him he is literally massive and can get paid millions due to his knack for being huge. Well, time's up Richie, it's all down hill from here. Once ESPN gets locked on to a controversial story like this there is no turning back, so say bye-bye to your NFL career, hopefully the Toronto Argonauts need a fat guy, though they're not too keen on name calling up there.

North Texas With 8 Play Goal Line Stand

Edit: Couldn't get video to work for some reason so heres the video.

Rice ran 8 plays inside the 5 yard line of North Texas, 7 of which were inside the 3. After stopping the Owls on 4 consecutive plays, North Texas was hit with a questionable defensive holding call and Rice was gifted 4 more tries at the endzone. North Texas came up with the stop again in what the Fox announcers called the greatest goal line stand they had ever seen in football, period.

8 chances... 8 CHANCES YOU GUYS! Gotta make something happen with an opportunity like that, but NOPE, hello North Texas. Rice just getting buried on every play. 

Rice's coach may be calling all the wrong plays, but you have got to give credit to the North Texas D here. Each play the field is clogged, no receivers open, no lanes to hit, no options at all cause North Texas was fucking everywhere. 8 play goal line stand is one way to fire up the Mean Green boys. Oh and that last play after getting 7 chances? Throw the ball in the air. You've had too many tries already, just throw the ball and pray that you don't end up being part of the worst redzone drive in NCAA history.

Gaulledet U 8-0 After Blocked Field Goal For TD

Washington- Gallaudet invented the huddle, uses a drum to signal the snap count and loses a lot of games.

For years, those were the only things anyone seemed to know about the football team at the university for the deaf and hard of hearing.

This year's Bison are dispelling more than a few perceptions with a shot at the first NCAA berth for a men's team in school history.

And they rarely huddle anymore. And they only beat the drum when the other team shanks a punt.

A team once high on novelty and low on competitiveness suddenly can't be beat, with an 8-0 record after an amazing finish Saturday.

Gallaudet blocked a potential game-winning field goal with 2 seconds left and Ryan Bonheyo returned it 79 yards for a TD to beat Becker, 40-34.

First things first, hats off to this team. Being deaf is never an advantage and certainly not in football, what this team is doing is special. They are flat out winning, their average time of possession is tops in the entire nation for all levels. Now that that has been said, this whole concept is hilarious.

Quote from the article

Goldstein also had to learn different ways to throw tantrums. His failed in his first attempt, after the Bison fumbled three times in the first half in his first game as coach.

''I wanted the kids to know I was upset. I walked in the room of the offense team meeting (at halftime) and I take a chair and I throw it across the room,'' Goldstein said. ''It slams against the wall. Three kids turn around. Out of a group of about 35 kids, only three turn around because none of them heard me.''

Picture that, the coach tosses a chair in a violent rage and no one reacts to it. That's gotta be demoralizing from a coach's perspective. What do you do next, yell for their attention? Nope, sorry, thats not happening either, have to walk in front of them and have someone angrily sign what you're saying while you try your best to be pissed off at a bunch of blank faces staring up at you. That's a tough hand to deal with as a coach, but hey he's 8-0 and his deaf D is making big plays. 

Nuts To Dome For This UF Fan

My man, not a good look. I don't know if the play here is to point out the obvious, but that guy looks way to comfortable with nuts on his head. I hope to God he figured it out, socked the guy who's doing it, and then grabbed that bombshell in blue and banged her out right there. That may be a tad unrealistic, but I think its the only redemption possible for getting bullied on national TV.

Also, either his buddy in the visor doesn't have peripheral vision or he is way too afraid to confront the guy behind him because that is clearly visible.

Keep on chompin, ignore the bullies and it never even happened.

Crazy Cat Lady Redefining The Game

Poland- A woman who was trying to create a Frankenstein dog in a series of sick experiments involving dead and live animals has been arrested.

The woman had almost 100 dead animal bodies some of which had looked like they had been experimented on in the freezers of her home in Warsaw, Poland.

Officers raided the house an acting on a tip-off from neighbors who had complained about the smell and noise created from dozens of cats in the building.

A police spokesman said: "She was banned from keeping dogs, she had become obsessed with creating a new breed of dog and when that became no longer possible she switched to experimenting with cats."

"There has obviously been some sort of sick experiments going on but until we get the autopsy is back on the bodies and have looked at the injuries to the life cats we won't know more about exactly what she was doing here."

The woman faces up to two years in jail this time for animal cruelty if police confirm that the animals were abused for illegal experimentation purposes.

What a story, this lady is exactly the kind of iconic figure that cat ladies need to strive to be. Having cats isn't enough, you need to up the anti and create some sort of franken-creature composed solely of cats. Does taking cats and stuffing pieces of them together really make a franken-dog? I don't see how it could, considering they are cats and not dogs, but then again I'm no expert on the matter. This lady was obviously a talented scientist nearing a breakthrough before these asshole cops had to cat-block her. Give her one more year of cramming a bunch of cat legs together and who knows maybe we get a new best friend to play with. 

Teacher Goes On Racist Halloween Rant

Ohio- Firestone High School teacher David Spondike, 51, took to his Facebook page Sunday night to let the world know how he felt about kids from the “ghetto” daring to trick-or-treat at his house. According to screenshots of the rant sent to local news outlets by an anonymous Facebook friend, Spondike was upset about one of the children urinating outside:

"I don't mind if you come to my neighborhood from the ghetto to trick-or-treat. But when you whip out your teeny dicks and piss on the telephone pole in front of my front yard and a bunch of preschoolers and toddlers, you can take your n****r-ass back where it came from! I  don't have anything against anyone of any color, but n*****s, stay out!"

We get it Dave, you hate seeing all those tiny dicks around your neighborhood, but you can't just be dropping N-bombs left and right over it. Gotta have the foresight to see that move as being a bad one. And are these dicks even that teeny? That's a bold accusation, I mean think of the crowd you're dealing with here. 

Oh and this guy's track record is ridiculous too. He is accused of choking a student, throwing a chair, and spitting on the floor in the classroom. If having a teacher like that doesn't keep you focused and on your toes at all times than I don't know what will. Hats off to the passion Spondike, but maybe clean up the language a bit.

ps- This may be most hilariously contradicting sentence of all time. "I don't have anything against anyone of any color, but n*****s, stay out!"

8th Grader Acts Like 50s Woman And Gets 300k For It

Deadline- Ok, get ready to feel inferior. When an eighth grader named Maya Van Wagenen found herself struggling to fit in with her new classmates, she followed the seemingly outdated wisdom from a 1950s advice book for help. Not only did Maya crack the code to becoming popular by using ancient tips from Betty Cornell’s Glamour Guide For Teens, she kept a diary. That journal is the basis for a six-figure two book deal with Penguin Group. And now, at the ripe age of 15, Van Wagenen has become the youngest non-actor to ever make a feature deal at DreamWorks.

The studio has optioned Popular: One Geek’s Quest For The Impossible, as well as that Betty Cornell book. They’ve set Amy B. Harris to script it into a coming of age feature. Harris certainly knows that terrain; she transitioned from Sex and the City scribe to showrunner of the popular spinoff The Carrie Diaries. Mad Chance Productions’ Andrew Lazar will produce with Kristie Macosko Krieger.

This is heady stuff for Van Wagenen, who is now 15, but book publishers went wild for her story of struggle, and how she found social footing by following such advice as: always wearing white gloves, using pearls as a fashion accessory; and never forgetting that a girdle can be a girl’s best friend. The most important lessons conveyed were timeless ones like being open and honest, and kind. She found that each social clique was distrustful of the others, and that all of the kids bore similar insecurities. She was able to find common ground and feel for the first time like she belonged.

This girl, Maya Van Wagenen (such a weirdo name), is apparently getting paid $300,000 for her journal about getting popular in eighth grade by acting like she is from the 50s. I remember eighth grade quite vividly and wearing white gloves and a girdle 24/7 was a sure-fire way to end up eating tater tots alone in the bathroom. I don't know if maybe she's from some freakshow town, but that style would not cut it in my middle school. Eighth grade is the year when everyone's hormones start raging and if you're not getting middle school girlfriend hjs then you're doing it wrong.

Am I actually just bitter that I didn't make 300k for dressing weirdly while I went through puberty? Yes.

Does This Look Like The Face Of My Friend Crushing The Dorms

This is a video of my buddy casually bumpin and grindin late night Saturday, can't stop won't stop.

Funny thing is the girl was barely drunk, just a good sport.

Terrelle Pryor Stretched Before The Game

Decent first set of downs.

                                       

Man Fatally Shot In Pink BMW In Detroit

Detroit — Police are investigating a fatal shooting at a bank drive-thru window on Detroit’s east side Friday morning.

Investigators were on site at Charter One bank in the 16500 block of E. Warren Avenue before 10 a.m., where a shot-up, pink 2003 BMW 760Li sat in place in front of the bank window. The car’s passenger side window featured seven bullet holes that police believe were fired by a single assailant.

Detroit Police Capt. Charles Mahone said the shooting occurred around 9:45 a.m. as the owner of the car was stopped at the bank window. The suspect fired at least seven shots through the passenger window and may have walked around to the driver’s side to pull the victim from the car.

Let me start by saying this random murder is fucked up obviously. These are the two facts of the story, he was driving a pink BMW and he was in Detroit. 

Now I'm not gonna straight up say he deserved it, because thats insensitive, but he was most definitely asking for it. Did he not know that Detroit is more of a war zone than Gotham City? Was he unaware that driving a pink BMW around said warzone is considered a suicide attempt for each mile he survives? Some guy who got interviewed talked about his casual reaction to the gunshots, I've never heard a random gunshot but I think I would urinate instantly if i did. I just don't understand why people still continue to live there when there is basically no laws at this point. 

Penn Bans Strangers From Touching Pregnant Bellies

Penn- It's something almost every pregnant woman goes through -- someone touching her belly. Well, there'll be no more of that for strangers in one state.

It is now illegal in Pennsylvania to touch the belly of a pregnant woman without her permission.

It started with a case, where a man is facing harassment charges for doing just that.

This is something I've never understood, why the fuck are you touching a random lady's stomach? It's fucking weird. What does touching that woman's stomach achieve? Whole lotta shadiness going down in the pregnant toucher's mind. It probably gets annoying as fuck for the pregnant lady too, every few minutes someone walking up and rubbing your stomach. I don't think that's something I'd be into unless I had washboard abs, self-conscious city. Big ups to Penn. for finally standing up for whats right and setting this weird ass law in place.

Hands down creepiest gif I've ever seen.

LSU's Tiger Is Awesome

                         

After looking into it I now know that Mike the Tiger has been around for almost 70 years so this isn't anything new, but still I need a better mascot. How the fuck does LSU get to have a giant tiger to play with/cuddle and I have some douche dressed up as a human. I mean yeah, celebrating a big friendly white man is kind of hilarious, but fuck the Minuteman, gimme something bad ass like a wolf or a rhino. Having a fucking rhino on campus would be unreal. Instead I get to be pumped up by looking at a normal dude. I know its patriotic and such a Massachusetts thing to do but I don't care I want more.

Radical Christians Leave An Interesting Tip To A Gay Waiter

Kansas City- When a waiter went to pick up the check after a so-called Christian couple completed their meal he found, in lieu of a tip, a vitriolic message.

It began on a complimentary note: “Thank you for your service, it was excellent.”

Unfortunately, that was just the “tip” of the iceberg.

Kansas City KMBC TV found out about the incident on Facebook where customers of Carrabba's Italian Grill are rallying in support of the waiter.

The message, written on the back of the credit card receipt, continued: “That being said, we cannot in good conscience tip you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to GOD.

“Queers do not share in the wealth of GOD, and you will not share in ours.

“We hope you will see the tip your fag choices made you lose out on, and plan accordingly.

“It is never too late for GOD's love but none shall be spared for fags.

“May GOD have mercy on you.”

The waiter has seemingly taken it in his stride.

“The offers to help pay me back are much appreciated, but not at all needed,” he said.

“I'd prefer to let my work ethic and my service do the talking, nothing else.”

Shoppers spoken to by KMBC were less understanding, Will Rogers describing the act as despicable.

“It's not different from saying I'm not tipping you because you're black, or a Jew, or anything like that,” he said.

“In this day and age, being gay, it's not really any cause for a fuss.”

Charles Ferrozza blogged on The Pitch: “I wish a brave Carrabba's manager had been on hand to toss the bigoted couple's self-righteous asses out into the parking lot.”

It is not the first time this year that a self-proclaimed Christian has used faith as an excuse not to leave a tip.

In January, a waiter at an Applebee's outpost was given, instead of a tip, an admonition from a female minister.

She wrote on the receipt: “I give God 10 per cent. Why do you get 18?”

OUCH. Sorry queerbag but you made way too many faggy choices to even let these heaven hungry Christians consider giving you shit. No way your cock gobblin' ass is getting anything other than a lesson. And you better hear that lesson loud and clear because God's love is NOT spared on fags, oh but thanks again for the great service, it was excellent. 

There are not many groups of people that are more absurd than radical Christians. Just preaching about loving each other then flat out destroying gays. Kind of a class act for this guy not to try to sue or get donations for being bullied.

ps- Sneaky awesome move capitalizing all the letters of God, kind of made it feel like God was mad at me and I'm not even a butt stabbin' poofter.

UPenn Underground Frats In Trouble For Being Awesome

Huff Po - UnderTheButton, a student-run blog at the University of Pennsylvania, got a hold of some emails from underground fraternities at the Ivy League school this week. We’ve learned two things from the emails: these guys buy a lot of vodka and are worried about which underground frat that girls like the most.

First, a little primer on these fraternities: they are actually not recognized by the university. The university has a giant, bold warning on the Penn Greek life website telling students to “Beware the Renegades”:

A number of organizations exist at Penn that claim to be fraternities or sororities. The may think of themselves in that way, but they are not legitimate general social fraternities or sororities recognized or sanctioned by the University of Pennsylvania. Many of them rose out of the remnants of chapters that were closed down for serious disciplinary action, and the dangerous culture that existed then continues to be perpetuated.

Houses like OZ, Theos, Owls and Apes are some of these “nuisance houses,” as the university refers to them. And just because they are underground doesn’t mean they don’t still have rush and house rivalries, as the emails UnderTheButton captured from the Theos listserv show.

UnderTheButton also got some emails from Oz, another underground house, which show these guys apparently spend a lot on vodka.

Well I'll never! These fraternity brothers certainly have been misbehaving! Buying vodka and being mean?! Color me surprised!

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. I'm assuming that most, if not all, of the people doing these investigations and publicizing them graduated from college, or at least have some idea of what takes place at college. It's like as soon as a person turns 30 they forget about the college life. I'm still living it so I'm extremely well aware of what goes on here and am happily a part of it. This shit happens and has been happening for decades and will continue to happen. 

The part that I don't get is the student-run blog that outed these bros. Did one of these kids fuck all of your girlfriends or is the blog solely run by uppity bitches? If you don't want to be involved in that scene then don't be. That simple, no reason to try to ruin their fun just because you're too nervous to take a sip of a Twisted Tea.

Belgian Pigeon Racing Using PEDs

Breitbart- Nothing is sacred it appears in the high-flying world of pigeon racing in Belgium, where six birds were found to have been doped with drugs such as cocaine and painkillers, Belgian media reported Thursday.

Cycling-mad Belgium is used to hearing of sports stars pumped up on performance-enhancing drugs, but officials are now homing-in on the birds used in a sport which rakes in millions in breeding and prize monies.

The Belgian pigeon-racing federation sent samples from 20 birds to the National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa after a recent exchange visit, two Flemish dailies reported.

Although tests on the same birds in Belgium had not revealed a problem, the South African lab did.

"Cocaine in one, painkillers and anti-fever drugs for another," the newspapers reported.

Belgian pigeon racing has acquired new-found fame recently with the 310,000 euros ($430,000) sale to a Chinese gambler of the country's top-performing bird "Bolt," named after six-time Olympic sprint champion, Jamaica's Usain Bolt.

The riches and glamour now on offer have brought with them problems of theft from breeders and racketeering.

Over the summer the star pigeon Bolt and hundreds of other Belgian racing pigeons were held up by Chinese customs in a row over their declared value which triggered a multi-million euro entry wrangle.

The sport sees specially bred and trained pigeons released from a specific location and race back to their home loft.

So disappointed in myself for not knowing about the high-stakes gambling world of Belgium pigeon racing. Some people may believe that these pigeons are being fed these drugs as performance enhancers, I'd like to think otherwise.

Being a pro in any sport comes with a lot of fortune and fame, but also an enormous amount of pressure. The top pigeon in the game, Bolt, just got "signed" to a $430,000 contract, you don't don't think he's gonna party? So what he bumps a few lines and swallows a few painkillers with his fellow athletes, no reason for the Belgian pigeon-racing federation, BPRF for short, to come sniffing around his cage. Lay off, let the pros enjoy their time at the top.
