Olympian and professional athletes are natural.... yea right.

Oh the horror - you mean to tell me competitive weight lifters are using banned substances?

These people are just stupid... not necessarily for using the substance but they know it's banned -they know there is testing being done for said substances... do they think the rules don't apply to them?

If'n your gonna cheat -at least find a new substance that's not on tha banned list... yet...
 
I think testing is getting more rigorous.

That and the pressure to win is well worth the chance of getting caught.

If everyone is 'using,' you really don't have a choice but to use if you're going to compete at that level successfully.

That's why it baffles me why people in a sport like say the Tour de France would use banned substances.

They know if they win the stage they're going to be tested and if they test positive, they're kicked out of the race. So why do it?

That's why I believe Landis.

I think the Europeans were getting kind of pissed at the Americans coming over and beating them at their sport, so they doctored his samples.
 
Eh, a lot of people seem to have this idea in life that " I'm special, I can get away with it" and they don't and its funny when they get caught.

You see the article in the WSJ the other day that said using steroids, even once, resulted in a significant increase in muscle mass, even years later?

This is pretty much it, you may get caught, you may not, the other people may get caught, they may not, but unless you are a once in a generation specimen, you won't be competing either way if you're not on performance enhancers
