How in God's green earth can these olympic swimmers break all these world records ? Are they all juiced ? Is the pool Juiced ? Is it a combination of both ? Conspiracies abound. Did Pletcher, Asmussen, and Dutrow sell their magic potion to the highest bidders ? I can't figure it out. Please help me. Asking all Chemist to chime In !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No chemist needed. Considering there's doping positives all the time, and a lot of gold medalists have come forward after years of guilt to admit they doped, then it's really hard not to be suspicious of everything you see. IMO some sports (cycling and several Olympic sports) is nearly impossible to succeed at without doping. Not sure if you saw the recent Real Sports cyclist who said in his first championship he was honest, and then finally gave in. He actually called it a "relief" to finally bend to the pressure.

It also still takes hard work and athleticism obviously. But that last edge they need. Shaving that extra fraction of a second. A lot of them have to find that somewhere else.

We tell him the roid's will make him faster, stronger and more aggressive. He does a cycle and sure enough makes the team in his fourth year. A journeyman goon but a very good player, he punched and played in Montreal, St.Louis and Pittsburg. Retired now and doesn't regret any of it. Earns a good living in the sporting goods business. |

COUld not take it, watched as little Olympics by leaps and bounds of any summer games ever. Between NBC ignoring the issues in China, the crass commercialism, so obvious it was helfd there just to shill american product to the suddenly loaded chinese and the obvious drugs,
just couldn't take it.
