Man Dies After Winning Vodka-Drinking Contest

Reuters story

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A vodka-drinking competition in a southern Russian town ended in tragedy with the winner dead and several runners-up in intensive care.

"The competition lasted 30, perhaps 40 minutes and the winner downed three half-liter bottles. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Roman Popov, a prosecutor pursuing the case in the town of Volgodonsk.

Isn't that a conflict of interest? I mean, seriously, isn't Popov a brand of vodka?
