Actually, i've been obsessed with this story all day. It's true everyone does it, but in competition, it's a big deal. It's intense, your body is often pushed to the limits and most athletes and competitors are so single-minded on the task that it's not really a big deal and as the writer says, it's actually kind of considered awesome.

The story mentions the rarely talked about experience of Tony Stewart, during a race, where many fans follow on scanners and the tv and radio folks covering the event definitely do. He actually won the race. TV said he had "stomach cramps" and that a doctor was on site and they passed him medicine through the window the whole deal. He won, and as they do, the tv folks jump in his face as he exits the car. He went back to his hauler and they had to say something, they were expecting an interview...anyway, read the story.
The part that's killing me, and i've been googling on it for like 30 mins now, is that they mention a Panthers player got hit and lost control on that sphincter muscle in his home whites back in 2007. I can't for the life of me remember or find anything on it. Not that I'd like to call the guy out, it's just fascinating and disgusting at the same time!
