Pigeons drugged to win race!

PICS: Pigeons fail doping test in Belgium

In May a Belgian racing pigeon called Bolt was sold to a Chinese businessman for a world record price of 310,000 euros ($400,000). The pigeon was so named after Olympic gold-winning Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. In September, controversy broke out when Bolt, along with hundreds of other Belgian pigeons, was detained by Chinese authorities in a dispute over import duties.
