Wary U.S. Olympians Will Bring Food to China — but not because they’re afraid of getting sick from local victuals:
When a caterer working for the United States Olympic Committee went to a supermarket in China last year, he encountered a piece of chicken — half of a breast — that measured 14 inches. “Enough to feed a family of eight,” said Frank Puleo, a caterer from Staten Island who has traveled to China to handle food-related issues.“We had it tested and it was so full of steroids that we never could have given it to athletes. They all would have tested positive.”
What a splendid excuse.
