Steroid Olympics is on CBC right now!

[Rudee]

The CBC is doing an experiment to see how much Steroids affect performance in Olympic events. 24 people have been selected to participate. A sample of them will be given anabolic steroids, the remainder will be given a placebo. This will be a double-blind study, nobody will know who was given the steroids until the end of the study. The participants will go though a strength-training routine, where their progress will be measured. They will then learn certain Olympic events, and proceed to do their best to obtain a personal best.

I saw this exact same documentary last week and I found it very interesting. You'd be suprised as some of the results at the end.

my understanding is that anabolic steroids don't help endurance.

Possibly, but other banned substances and procedures do. Such as loading your body with EPO and other drugs and chemicals.

Well yeah.

An anabolic steriod wouldn't help an endurance based type of event. But EPO and others can and does help endurance athletes.

lol @ klah

Hey Rudee are those guys in Australia doing their training? And are they running 100m, shot putt and 5000m?

I saw a programme like that here in England. They had 24 athletes also they were from different parts of the country. Good programme but thought that the results could be obtain with proper training in the events that they did though. Most of them had 'crap' Shot Put form.
