Pre-race favorite Bode Miller falls off the course in the second run, and many of the other top competitors struggle with an extremely challenging course. Britain's Alain Baxter originally takes the bronze, but loses it after testing positive for traces of methamphetamine. This apparently occurred because Baxter had used an American Vicks inhaler, which had a slightly different chemical content from the legal British Vicks inhaler.
