(AP) - This photo released by Headblade Inc, shows Headblade founder Todd Greene, left, Olympic skeleton driver Zach Lund. Greene's relationship with Lund has boosted the product's profile but also done the athlete a world of good in the morale department. Back in 2005, Lund was ranked No. 1 in the world, then tested positive ahead of the 2006 Games for finasteride, an ingredient in the hair growth product Propecia. At the time, finasteride was on the world anti-doping list as a possible mask for steroids. (AP Photo/Headblade,Mark Maziarz)
