Breaking News - Maria Sharapova Fails Drug Test

[willie wacker]

This substance has only recently being on the banned list even though its performance enhancing, maybe because it's difficult to develop a reliable test for it.

Doping in sport is widespread! As this is an anomonous forum, it's safe for me to talk.

I could list many Irish examples, but the latest was Jamie Heaslip and his high "naturally occurring" testosterone, so if it isn't synthetic it's okay??, but yet I can get bio identical testosterone from a German laboratory and bring my levels up but not too high and it okay!

There are new performance enhancing peptides every month...it takes years to develop a reliable test for each one.

Sorry to say, but drugs will always be present in sport... Sad!

Most drugs on the banned list are masking drugs and are of no benefit except to fool the testers to find the steroids.
Drugs are widespread in sport and will always be.
The only way to stop it is to bring in blood and hair test as they cannot be fool using these in tests.
And as calvados said it,s an anonymous forum here,s a true story

Out for dinner one night with a Athletic coach when the drugs issue came up and he told me about a conversation he had with Jerry Kieran.
After the 84 marathon olympic,s race all the runners had a talk about what they were on after the race
Jerry told them he was doing nothing at which the other athlete,s did not believe him
Jerry came 9th in that race, he was told that you do not come in the top 12 without doing something
And we all know who came second there.
