Aquariums. Especially the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

Track & Field Time: The New York Time isn't giving up on Alberto Salazar and the Nike Oregon Project! In today's article, the allegations include: Dathan Ritzenhein's claim that Salazar pushed him take thyroid medication, that Salazar and Dr. Jeffrey Brown administered "L-carnitine infusion procedures" in, if true, exceeding amounts allowable by WADA/USADA, and that Dr. Brown 1altered medical records of athletes.

This is in addition to earlier reports that Salazar pushed his athletes to get therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) purely to enhance performance, not as a medical necessity.

New York Times (May 19. 2017) - 'This Doesn’t Sound Legal’: Inside Nike’s Oregon Project

NO! - FAKE NEWS! Besides, athletes/coaches/staff should be innocent until proven/tested guilty.
or
No - But WADA/USADA's policy on TUEs are WAY too relaxed.
or
YES! - There's doping violations going on.

Should schools rethink their dress codes?

YES - The "modesty rules" can be body shaming - especially for girls.
NO - Rules are a part of life. Is it really that unreasonable for parents to find clothes that comply?
NEITHER - Schools should just make everyone's wear a uniform/ prescribed clothing (usually plain polo shirts and khaki pants/shorts).
