Why are Sullivan, Bernard, Cielo, and Trickett so fast?

Does anyone think a 15 year old would use the PEDs www.healthycompetitiontn.org/.../what_are_peds.shtm From what I've seen of PEDs, they're ineffective unless controlled by ppl that know what they're doing. Guys "researching" by asking their pill-popping buddies who just so happen to deal as well... end up wasting their time, money and bodies. The 2 guys that I swam w/ that were juiced did it this way and were eventually worse swimmers because of it. I don't have a science background, but it just seems to me that a teenage body is just too unpredictable b/c of the changes going on. If a kid is showing elite potential, it's best to let them grow on their own before trying to supplement their training through illegal means. In short, I can't see a physician/chemist administering a PED program on a teenager. Not to say that it doesn't happen, but in swimming PED tend to be used by athletes that have reached a plateau and/or have already reached an elite (say... top 15) level.
