Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
I picture someone very different looking when I think of a steroid user. She is muscular, but more streamlined, and very thin.
Ever looked at a pro cyclist?
Geek,
Given cycling's wonderful reputation for being a clean sport and the fact that you are on the road more now, we expect some noticeable results in and out of the water now..... :-)
John Smith
Yeah, that was my point. That whole sport is one big bucket of juice and those guys all look like they have gone a few years without a decent hamburger.
A question for the Dara Doubters: :duel:
If she were taking drugs, what drugs might she be taking? What known drugs out there are undetectable? And what are the benefits of these drugs?
She could be using an undetectable anabolic steroid. And, before she enrolled in the voluntary testing program, she could have been using any number of anabolic steroids for a long time.
I just answered my own question.....just doing a quick Google search....as far back as 1999 they had ways of detecting steroids through hair. And if I am not mistaken as part of the volunteer program she is on they do Blood, Urine and Hair testing.
I am in luck not much hair on my head to check.

Looks like the sport continues to push the limits.
"we know that five of his (Lances') ex-teammates have been involved in doping."

Sorry, but saying that all these messages are just part of a discussion is not accurate. I have seen numerous attacks/accusations. Sorry, but those are not a realistic part of any discussion.
Why not?
I haven't seen many direct accusations aside from the White Buffalo alias. Even the Smiths' "scrutiny" stops short. And they're allowed to be skeptical and cynical and unhappy people.
Not sure the top women from Nats are training nearly as much as Dara. I don't think her abs are very good evidence of anything though ... The photos seemed designed to make her look as ripped as possible. She doesn't look nearly as ripped in the cheesecake model shots from Jim Thornton's article.
Jessica Hardy's starts were worse than Dara's.
