Get Set... Urinate! Athens, GR  |  After years of grudging acceptance by the world's most accomplished athletes, peeing in a cup has finally been designated an officially sanctioned Olympic competition. The International Olympic Committee hopes attitudes toward mandatory drug testing will improve if participants know they might walk away with an Olympic medal. In fact, it is the first event scheduled on the August 13th calendar, taking place at Athens' new Olympic Aquatic Centre. "It's actually quite historic," says IOC President Jacques Rogge. "The Pee-a-thon is the only sport in which every Olympic athlete will participate. I think it's very exciting." The men's competition will be graded by height, distance and accuracy, while the women's event will be judged on technical execution and artistic interpretation. Despite tightened security during this year's Olympics, full body cavity searches will remain an exhibition-only event.
