			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a flash of inspiration this morning. A <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106615999" title="Frank Deford on NPR">story</a> about the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/sports/baseball/15allstar.html" title="2009 MLB All-Star game">All-Star game</a> came on the radio and got me thinking.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been annoyed when people, often athletes, say &ldquo;I gave it one-hundred and ten percent,&rdquo; or something along those lines. Now, there are plenty of times when percentages over 100 make sense, but&#8212;by definition&#8212;your best <em>is</em> 100%. Unless . . . That&#8217;s it! The athletes <em>are</em> giving one-hundred and ten percent of their natural ability. They are admitting to <a href="http://www.wada-ama.org/en/" title="WADA">doping</a>. Their apparent abuse of basic math is really a veiled admission to using performance-enhancing drugs. The extra ten percent is the drugs!</p>
