Designer-steroid chemist says Olympic Committee can't stop cheaters

That was a very good read. He mentioned that there's a lax in China when it comes to designer steroid availability. It wouldn't surprise me if China somehow strong-armed the IOC into giving false test results for the athletes just to have an exiting Olympic contest. How much better is man going to become? How much faster are we going to swim and run? Man is man...and man has been that way for a long time. But it truly amazes and intrigues me to wonder when it won't be like that anymore? Is someone else going to win 9 gold medals or run 9 seconds flat in the 100 meters at the Olympics? I bet no one thought that would ever happen before those records were set.

Well, ask yourself this, Bill: What does it say when half the swimmers in a race threaten or break the world record? How can this be?!? A friend speculated that the pool is somehow optimally designed, but... I dunno.

I would like to think the IOC wouldn't be corruptible at the level you suggest-- if that ever came out the embarassment would be too great. But... one has to wonder. So many startling results...

Very good point. The pool being optimally designed...not too sure about that. Unless there's some sort of undercurrent being created by the design, but I don't know. Being a martial artist/weightlifter, I did try some things that are now illegal. The chemist is right...unless you know what you're testing for, you have no way of knowing what someone is taking. Patrick Arnold is one of those chemists that are always coming up with something new. I'm proof that his stuff worked. I was lifting more and more, got bigger and stronger. And unless someone has a sample of a custom designed supplement, you'll never know what someone is taking.
