What do you think? What kinds of drugs do you think she's on?
yes I do. She trains, eats, recovers right.
I agree with this 100%..........but if you ask GH15 she's on everything under the sun and swimming is just a cover up.
Would you say the Chinese female swimmers are also 100% drug free if they aren't caught in the tests?
I actually thought about last night as I was watching them. My thought is, even if they were on gear (and I do think some might be) the Chinese government would cover it up.
So you feel that successful doping today requires a government funded institutionalized doping program? I do agree that it's hard to dope today but consider how Balco managed to successfully dope American athletes until a snitch ruined it. Marion Jones passed 180 tests while on drugs! If the will is there you can do it without extreme funds as the Balco scandal proved. Is swimming less dirty than track & field?I do believe the Chinese are heavily doped though. Just imagine the resources they have available for a sophisticated program!
here's she is..
But IMO, since the Balco situation I would have to guess that testing would be much more stringent than ever before.
Remember that the Balco athletes weren't busted due to WADA's efforts primary but due to a snitch. The testing is extremely stringent to be sure but if there's a will there's a way. In the recent Tour the France a cyclist was busted for a new form of EPO because the drug manufacturer had inserted a tracer in the drug, unbeknownst to the athlete. The drug itself was not picked up on! As far as I know no one has been busted for GH yet either. Same for insulin - don't think they are even bothering to look for that one either.
