Another swimmer bites the dust. She says its from her ovarian disease . . . . . pay no attention to the synthetic qualities of testosterone that was reported to be found in her sample. Don't know if I'd want to arm "wrastle" this woman.

"Brazilian swimmer Rebeca Gusmoa suspended for steroids
She won 2 Pan Am Games gold medals, plus a silver and a bronze. She looks like the Incredible Hulk. And, she used synthetic testosterone. Check out her photos; which is the off-cycle?
Summing governing body FINA announced the doping suspensions of Brazil's Rebeca Gusmao. The International Herald carries the story."

Prison is not the all in all fix. But, it is a good start toward the fix. My point is a simple one. The lack of punishment or consequences fosters abuse of these rules. The results of illegal performance enhancing drugs are often hidden and very difficult to quantify. But it is killing sports. Who ever thought a home run baseball would auction for close to a million dollars and then get branded with an asterisk before being sent to the Hall of Fame?
If we really want to stop it, then make it unpalatable and very expensive if caught cheating. Anything less then severe consequences is a joke the cheaters laugh at. Let's face it; it takes a very brave SOB to step over the corpse to see if the gun is still loaded….figuratively writing.
