Read some of Patrick Arnold's discussions on high level testing.
Cliffs... it's all bullshit.

I think Pat was busted due to a rat who knows how long they would have been able to get away with it otherwise.
Carl Lewis failed 3 tests leading up to the 88 Olympics.
Too big to fail, like Usain Bolt
There are many things that cannot be tested for.
Or new protocols that are not detected.
The Chinese are great at creating these products.
We haven't really seen any designer steroids out of China, I mean failed tests for new steroids. But yeah, they are in the best position to manufacture them. I hear rumors of variations of hGH that can't be deteced - there are dozens or hundreds of GHs naturally in the body and some could have activity. But this kind of project obviously costs a lot.
I would be curious to see an analysis of Olympic athletes urine, looking for even any legal drugs such as Tylenol and Viagra. The WADA does this to discover trends even before they are banned. Drugs for blood pressure for example such as ARBs. I'd like to see how many are "depressed" and medicated, I mean if you artificially boost adrenalin and dopamine in the brain that could be performance enhancing.
