...ideally via a urine test because the blood test option simply is not going to happen.
What do you mean? I saw the "blood test option" happening at the Missouri Grand Prix. They were taking blood from the top finishers in each race.

When I was living in Flagstaff and training at the High Altitude Sports Training Complex there were (and still are) numerous foreign national teams that trained there. During two of the German Women's team visits, FINA officials showed up and tested the swmmers by drawing blood. These swimmers included Hannah Stockbauer and Antje Buschschulte.
A) Any new tests come out that can detect some of the more elaborate "cocktails" of drugs being used...ideally via a urine test because the blood test option simply is not going to happen.
What exactly is in the new "cocktails?" :roids:
I thought he looked amazing (from the neck down anyway). Didn't love his showboating all that much. Wish there was a better closeup of the race. I couldn't even see Nystrand's stroke to compare them.
Hey Peter I thought it was the East Germans that were pumped up. Was it not called the Jet theory.
Now, I thought he'd read my recalling of the Russian forced-air-buoyancy ploy; after all, it was remarked that he looked...pumped up...
Those seem to be reserved for female swimmers. :bolt:
Did you miss the discussion of Eamon Sullivan's 50m WR? And he's one of the least pumped-looking swimmers.
swimnews.com coverage overloaded on the doping perception angle, analyzing the facial expressions of the silver and bronze medalists on the podium and quoting comments about vitamins...
What, no :roids: comments?
It would be preposterous to suggest such a thing, given that the use of performance enhancing drugs is so rare among modern athletes. We should accept their achievements without question, especially since the drug testing program is fail safe. Besides, what could the athetes possibly have to gain by cheating?
