I'm curious,
can a person take testosterone and not "bulk up"? Mr Thorpe doesn't exactly fit the physical profile of someone "on the juice." Also, the article mentions medium and long distance races. Seems that the real benefit of extra testosterone would be realized in sprints, where you'd need more explosive power.
Yes, you can take testosterone and not get too bulky - it depends on the amount and the amount of training. It does work for endurance events by allowing speedier recovery, among other things.
I know a racewalker who was not bulky and took it as intramuscular injections and went on to win Olympic medals.
