Yes, I know that story. She was one of the lucky ones, many just ended up crippled by the steroids.

Ahh, ya know, wasn't just East Germans, I am sure most countries were at it. Even today, I don't trust 90% of world records that have been set.

Okay, this is the first I've really paid any attention to this, but I have to say that the before and after pictures are of a guy... If someone had shown me only the before and said boy or girl, I'd have said boy. If they'd said, no, girl, I'd have simply said "Not for long..."

Yes, steroids are big time powerful things, but some of that... Smells kinda fishy to me.

If it was THAT easy to become a man, the "treatment" for folks of our breeding, would be given HRT all right, just not the kind we want or need. If it were that easy, David Reimer would still be alive...

It's not that easy... Sorry Dre, but I'm not buying the blame it on the coaches thing...
