WADA says teenage doping a big problem

Any research on whether advantages of doping persist even if you stop doping?

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!!!

well,if they are,i shudder to think about whats gonna happen to their health,in years to come.

If the crappy search function here worked, I would link it. wtf happened to that guy, i wish he was still around

Thanks man! BTW I am not dead. Yet.

I don't think that there is much, if any doping at all on the distance side of things. Fisher and Hunter are talented kids who work really hard. However, I certainly wouldn't be too surprised if some of the top high school sprinters were doping.

I've heard stories about a prominent D1 program in the 1980s where even the distance runners were given steroids.

Hey Sprintgeezer, long time fan. What do you think of the current scene of professional sprinting and college/NCAA? Best wishes!

Steroids help with recovery. Steroids is a large category. Not all steroids are going to leave you looking like Mr Universe especially if you do not lift.

I don't think I've ever had a fan before, this is a bit weird.

I still watch, with the understanding of what it is I'm watching.

I'm glad Bolt is gone, hopefully forever.

Coleman is fun to watch accelerate, but I'm not a huge fan of his. I don't see him as "the next one", yet.

Lots of young guys coming up, who knows what they are doing, but there will be a real changing of the guard in the next few years. We're kind of in transition, you can feel it. RSA and other parts of Africa are new horizons, both for talent and doping. Old guys like Gatlin and even Rodgers still holding on. Would like to see comebacks by some lesser lights like Bailey-Cole, and am looking forward to more internationalism in sprinting.

The women will be particularly interesting with the rise of Ta Lou, the comeback of SAFP. Would like to see Asian women make the kind of dent in sprinting that the men have been making.

Still watching, still semi-interested, but not with the same zeal that I used to be. Thankfully there is the web for live streaming of meets, because NBC has become unwatchable (Olympic Channel is better even though it is an NBC property).

Wow!

Ta Lou Sprintgeezer, she is way up on my suspicious list, way up there.

I haven't really heard of high school distance runners doping because drugs don't have a huge impact on running, but for football I have no doubt that there are dopers out there. Steroids make a HUGE impact on all explosive/strength sports. It literally took the bodybuilding world from an era where people just looked athletic to when everyone is a shredded monster with 23 inch arms. For sports where muscle and mass is important, this could be a big advantage.

The most ripped and athletic guy in my school recently got kicked off the football team (much larger problems led to this being found out), and I'm sure there's hundreds more out there.

Forgot to mention that he was kicked off for steroids

Based on what?

Think about how many people have 100% legal access to PEDs. There are over 1,000,000 licensed physicians in the US. I guarantee some of them have doped their children without the kid knowing it because as a dr they realize a lot of PEDs aren’t dangerous if you know what you’re doing, which doctors ought to right? There are quite a few substances that can help an endurance athlete. Maybe you don’t know what they are, but plenty of people do. And plenty of parents will make bad decisions trying to help their kids get an advantage.

they should stop it wrote:

Well then maybe WADA should stop sucking at their job and create actual effective tests for PEDs.

Faaaalse...

The sports federations set up WADA to pretend their sports are still sports and not reality shows.

Wada is only a standards setting body anyway.

All of.which have freedom to prescribe dope without consequences. Calling Dr. Brown!!! NOP is calling..

In the u.s. there are no meaningful anti-doping laws, so doping is okay.

Runners don't dope in high school because running is a dead end. American football on the other hand....

Wouldn't lots of drug busts make for entertaining TV?
