Not invented until the 30s eh? That is not what I heard and for sure it was used on race horses before humans started using it. Still plenty of time there for Owens and other athletes to have used it before the Berlin games. Those Olympics meant a lot more to zionist than it did to the germans. They sure have used Owens a lot since that time to promote their brand of hate.
IF this story is true then Lewis, Owens Johnson or whoever would be toast if they came up against this guy:
In 1947 the sports world press was flabbergasted by a report from the Middle East. An Arab prince decided to go hunting for gazelles in a jeep. In due course they spotted a herd grazing in the distance. They approached at top speed and drew alongside the stampeding animals, when one of the prince's servants tapped him on the shoulder and pointed to what seemed to be a gazelle running on its hind legs. They moved in closer to view this extraordinary spectacle and were astounded to discover that it was not a gazelle but a young man!
The prince looked at his speedometer which was registering 30mph, twice as fast as Roger Bannister ran to break the four-minute mile! They pursued the youth until he dropped exhausted to the ground. He was immediately photographed and tied up. The picture was cabled to every news agency in the world. The lad was thin, with long black hair, no beard, completely naked and very scared (which was hardly surprising). The prince sent the boy to a Cairo hospital where it was discovered he could not talk nor eat any food other than grass. Without his gazelle friends and not used to captivity he began to pine, refused to eat and eventually died. A sad and remarkable story.
When they took fright, he ran too
The world's athletics press began to speculate about his plight and what he might have done if they could have gotten him to run around a track. How he joined the herd was a mystery. It was agreed that he would not have survived unless he had done so already able to walk and run, say around five years of age. Any older and the herd would have been wary of him. When feeling hungry he copied their habits and diet. But, more significantly, when they took fright, he also ran with them. As the years went by, he learned not only to run with them but also of necessity to keep up with them. The Cairo doctors estimated his age at around 17 but said he would not have lasted much longer as he was showing signs of malnutrition. This is a true story and any national newspaper will have the press- cuttings filed away.
"Steroids were first developed in the 1930's. The Germans first experimented on dogs then on their own soldiers in the second world war, as well as used them on their prisoners to help them stay healthy because they suffered from significant malnutrition. Then in the 1950's many Russian and European athletes began to find that steroids were very beneficial to their goals and soon after began dominating the sport of powerlifting, crushing previous world records. In the mid 1950's it was proven that testosterone was the reason behind the improved athletic ability by Dr. Ziegler"
"Anabolic steroids were developed in the late 1930s primarily to treat hypogonadism, a condition in which the testes do not produce sufficient testosterone for normal growth, development, and sexual functioning. The primary medical uses of these compounds are to treat delayed puberty, some types of impotence, and wasting of the body caused by HIV infection or other diseases.
During the 1930s, scientists discovered that anabolic steroids could facilitate the growth of skeletal muscle in laboratory animals, which led to use of the compounds first by bodybuilders and weightlifters and then by athletes in other sports. Steroid abuse has become so widespread in athletics that it affects the outcome of sports contests."
Its official. Gazelle Boy wins.
steroids were invented in 1895 to fatten up cattle--look it up in a book.
Did they get a wind reading for Gazelle boy??
