I remember reading something about either MLB or NFL players training up in the mountains to boost their red blood count, and then getting transfused before key games.
Only way to catch that is blood test.
To this day I consider that to be the greatest single achievement in sports that I have EVER witnessed.
I agree with you. Just think, if the brothers and sistas weren’t afraid of the water all kinds of swimming records would fall. The Chinese girl may be the one in a billion women capable of such a feat. Those East German women were growing beards and were the obvious product of steroid use. I don’t believe that blood doping could produce such a remarkable feat by a female. Let the American coach prove it or shut up. Now he has the Chinese coach calling into question Phelp’s effort in 2008.
IOC: China's Shiwen passed drug test
I think maybe this is why the US Olympic Committee distanced themselves from Leonard's doping claim.
Anyways, either this girl is 'legit' or the Chinese have found a way to mask any performance enhancing drugs they give to their athletes.
Do you still swim for fitness? I've observed that often, competitive swimmers get so burnt out and so obsessed with making speed their top priority, that they have a difficult time enjoying swimming as a fitness regimen later in life.
Yes, they lied about their age and stuff
she was.
also the NK Women’s Soccer team is banned from international competition for doping, but allowed in this Olympics. weird.
the only reason the balco scandal happened was a sample of the substance was provided to officials. Otherwise, it would still be undetectable.
could this be why the olympic committee was pushed for sex change operation rules?
So were the rest of the best in the world. He won by 2 ft.
