[QUOTE="kiwijohn, post: 1087516, member: 57792"] Having been involved in cycling and weight lifting in the past I can tell you drug use is rampant in sport... wether you like itor not. The worst would probably have to be sprinting, cycling and weightlifting... unless you call bodybuilding a sport? The tour has a terrible history of drug use, and testosterone is only one of the mix. People forget how many riders died from plain old heart attacks in the past due to Beta-blockers effect on keeping heart rates low. But riders also died from heart attacks way back in the 60's too... were they on drugs? Maybe? The strain probably killed them.... it's a tough event, and these guys seem to be getting faster every year... Cyclists and sports folk use cocktails of designer drugs and tricks; blood doping, IV supplied oxygenated blood, beta-blockers, fake samples, rotations of different drugs to minimise side effects and stave off the drop in gains from getting "used to" the drugs, injecting 'clean urine" into the bladder... you name it. The hot drug of choice is HGH which is human growth hormone and can't be detected. (very easily) so science will always look for a way to win without getting caught cheating. Floyd (probably ) got caught. DOes that make him a terrible person? Naaah, he's just competitive. It's just the human way.... I remember reading an article in a medical journal regarding steriod use and 15 % of the athletes interviewed said they'd risk [I]death[/I] to be number one....." "I have to win, and I'll do what ever it takes" Man that's scary! I'd wager half the field were on some sort of "helper". But does that mean if they're all doing it then the playing field is even again? I dunno about that.... well maybe. So has sport become a test of who has the best lab/doctor? Time will tell. Anyway, when you look into Floyds eyes does he look lilke a guy who's been caught? or a man who will stop at nothing to clear his good name?...... hmmmm good question...... John PS New Zealand is too poor to afford the real good steriods! That's why we can't get any golds !! ha ha [/QUOTE]
