I remember years ago when Angel Martino couldn't go to the 1988 olympics? Now, a swimmer name Vencill has been accused of taking steriods who was going to the Pan-American games.Americans always point to the East German system in the 1970's and 1980's and the Chinese in the 1990's. So, do some of you think its more widespread in the US than has been previous thought?
Pardon, I forget that exaggeration/dry humor doesn't always communicate through the web.
1. "String-em up" was just my way of saying what a lot of people are saying: be tough on those who knowingly cheat, to discourage it.
2. Just read an interesting article at SwimInfo by David Denniston, who provides some context around the "postive" result by Vencill. That backs up what I said earlier, there shouldn't be rush to assume that this guy is guilty.
3. I wasn't talking about drug-use/baseball in general, but specifically about andro/snake-oil science. Andro doesn't work. Those guys are getting larger *in-spite* of it. Andro has all the heath threats of steroids, without the "benefits". For baseball, they should discourage drug use (like Paul says).
