Any bets as to from what country their Olympic atheletes get caught?
Caught using steroids or some other illegal "performance enhancer."

My money's on China.

4. 1972 Olympic flashback
Seeing those East German women who had facial hair and guy's voices from the steroid overdoses. :scared:

Nowdays those women are dropping like flies from all the health problems that steroids caused.

7. 60 Minutes did a piece on this.
They even tracked down one of the "doctors" who was shooting the girls full of steroids at the ages of under 10.

I swear the guy was a dead ringer for Josef Mengele.

His answer? "I vas chust following orders!" :argh:

10. yes, there is a lawsuit underway
By athletes doped without their knowledge, especially while they were children.

It is terrible that the doctors and coaches are still working, both in Germany and in the US.

Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 01:49 AM by mharris660
that South African relay team. they came from nowhere to win, not even the favorite. I remember at the last winter games we saw a cross country skier who no one had really heard of blow everyone away. I told my wife, "watch, in 2 days they'll strip the medal away for drugs", sure enough they did.

12. Canada...
what a bunch of potheads...eh?

I laugh that they would strip someone of a medal for using marijuan as a "performance enhancing" drug. It does enhance some kind of performances, but not athletic ones.....
