It's not enough to just test athletes. The athletes themselves need to fight for their right to compete against clean athletes.

Zen students see themselves as athletes. Their competitive sport is enlightenment; only with enlightenment do we compete.

I would like to see more pictures of what athletes are doing, like in People. Show athletes hanging out with each other, eating lunch, out on a date.

In many ways, I think the WNBA is changing the way America views women and is having a positive impact on the way America views professional athletes. We're showing the world what women can be as athletes and what athletes can be as citizens.
