Ice fishing sounds, well, pretty awful. Lonely. Cold. And potentially dangerous if you happen to misjudge your spot and fall into the frigid waters beneath the ice. Most ice fishers would tell you that sort of Thing doesn't happen. I'm here to tell you it would probably definitely happen to me.

For the last few years, these icy anglers have been trying to get the Olympic committee to recognize their sport. They've even asked the World Anti-Doping Agency to start random testing their athletes for "performance enhancing drugs".

Ice fishers joke that the agency should test for the "steroids" of the sport: beer and beef jerky. But the US Freshwater Fishing Association says they don't test for beer because, "everyone would fail".

So it seems unlikely that we'll see ice fishing in the next Olympic games. Especially if the competitors have to give up their suds. Because fishing without beer? On the ice or off, that's just unnatural!

See you next week,
