Remembering Pavle

Bobsledder Pavle Jovanovic passes away. While he made it to Torino 2006, I distinctly remember his drug test failure and subsequent suspension just ahead of Salt Lake 2002, which caused a lot of discussion and infamy at the time. I can picture interviews with him and his dismayed and protesting family; living in New Jersey at the time as well, it had quite an impact.
