Boxers or briefs? Unfortunately, briefs for Netherlands coach

August 21, 2008 | 10:16 am

BEIJING -- Well after the U.S. women's water polo team had lost the gold medal game to the Netherlands Thursday, star U.S. Brenda Villa was still in doping control while four lonely U.S. journalists waited in an interview room for Villa to have several bodily fluids collected.

As we waited for nearly an hour, the Dutch coach, Robin Van Galen, finished up some Dutch radio interviews and apparently felt the need to change his clothes. Immediately.

Van Galen took of his shirt, then his pants and, without asking, the question was answered.

Briefs. Not boxers.

For the record: An earlier version of this post misspelled Robin Van Galen as Robin Van Halen.
