And just how would YOU know whether Rupp or any other athlete "suffers from hyopthyroidism"??? Did you make the diagnosis yourself, Dr. Stevie?
put 2 and 2 together....same doctor.

Ya'll think Rupp smokin some of that wacky backy? Homie don't need none of that. Shoot, brother done up and runnin his ass off and none ya'll give him props. It don't take no superman asthma to throwdown 66 second laps for 25 laps. That's skill. So go on hatin, cuz Rupp's the one gonna be at the Showdown. He don't need to cheat to do that. Some have EPO, but Rupp has the Quan.
Innocent until proven guilty, fool. Steve Magness is known to suffer from Asthma... I think he'd have a fair idea.

Yeah, plus he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I think Magness has some good points.
If I had a thyroid problem I would go see the best doctor possible. (actually I've wondered if I do have a problem but don't even know who to go see since there aren't a lot of people out there who understand runners and their metabolism. But I saw something in another thread about thyroid problems explaining why runners are so skinny. It's 12:30 and I haven't eaten a thing today and am not really hungry. Seems like my sex drive is down and I'm running maybe 20 miles a week right now. So when I saw the thread it made me think if this type of thing is more common with runners than we think).
With issues like thyroid problems, asthma etc, there is a gray area as some of the same drugs can have performance enhancing benefits. I think JK said T3 is a performance enhancer. Not sure if you can take it under USADA anyway. But some people are just suspicious and assume its a way to legally dope.
As long as the drugs are legal and USADA gives approval, I don't see the problem. But the recent Testoboost thread as well shows that some people just wonder where the line gets drawn.
Two interesting quotes in this thread from 2008. First, a quote from Steve Magness about how asthma and thyroid meds aren't performance enhancing, and people who claim otherwise are misinformed. He also says wejo is "beyond ridiculous" for making that suggestion. Second, a quote from wejo where he says legal is legal, so he doesn't see the problem.

Hey genius who keeps touting how asthma meds are performance enhancing...
Notice that every single study or talk on those steroid forums is about either Oral or injectible albuterol. NOT inhaled. Which is what Rupp or any other athlete who suffers from any form of asthma takes. Inhaled beta-2 agonists do NOT enhance performance. There was an article about a week ago in the NY times on this. Go look at it.
And the thyroid thing. Go back and read your steroid forums again. They use low doses, cycle on it for a short time (to "thin" up) and get off of it.
Once again, this is not what Rupp or any other athlete who suffers from hypothyroidism does. We have to take a larger amount (dependent on the person) every single day for the rest of our lives. An athlete who has no thyroid problems would be an idiot to get on a regular high dosage of T3 or T4.
Why go to Houston for a doctor? Why trust something like thyroid function, which basically regulates your entire metabolism to just any doctor? You realize that the control of almost all of the metabolic processes in the body plays a large role in running. You want someone who understands athletes. How many times have you seen threads on here about people going to some doctor who has no clue about running and it screws them up? If you are an elite athlete with a serious hormone problem, why not go to the best? Hell, I just got back from going to Denver for a medical problem. It's not unheard of for people to seek out the best. There are a lot of bad/clueless doctors out there.
Maybe, read some medical research and understand it, and not rely on steroid forums. It might do you some good.
Rupp has a ton of advantages, but why bash him for them? Almost all of the top groups have many of these same advantages, yet no complaints there. And for WeJo to call diseases like hypothyroid or asthma an advantages is beyond ridiculous. If you think it is, I'll gladly trade with someone so you can have all these wonderful benefits that both diseases give.

LMAO this is awesome! Eat a shoe BROJOS
NOPers are clueless. There is legal use of only what is prescribed, and there is Salazar's system of using more than prescribed and buying more on the black market.
Hmmmmm.
Pretty revealing.
