[at-l] NYTimes.com Article: Concern Over Health Risk Stemming Use ofPainkillers

[rrubin@atconf.org (Robert Rubin)]

Interesting article in the NY Times about long-term overuse of NSAIDs like
Ibuprofen, Naprosyn, etc. by pro athletes. Free, but requires you to sign
up. The subject's worth thinking about for those of us who chow down on
Vitamin I during a thru-hike.
