Holy mackeral!
The all-time cheat has to have been Stella Whatever-her-last-name-was from the 1928 Olympic Games, who won the gold for Poland in one of the women&amp;#39;s track races. Some 60 years later she was accidently killed in the cross-fire of a bank robbery and the autopsy revealed that &amp;quot;she&amp;quot; was a &amp;quot;he&amp;quot;. Imagine having to pretend to be someone else for 6 decades, just to have had that brief moment of glory on the podium.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: WCM caught doping</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/92507?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:43:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1c2758a3-51ad-44ad-b77c-4bd1900a0459</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Ha!

Kerry O&amp;#39;Brien is the head coach of WCM. That&amp;#39;s a photo of Kerry (a guy) wearing a woman&amp;#39;s suit.

Maybe Paul Smith can let Kerry borrow his tutu. :)

Speaking of &amp;quot;that ain&amp;#39;t no woman, it&amp;#39;s a man, man!&amp;quot; does anyone remember the cyclist Tammy Thomas who was banned for steroid us in 2002? I guess this is very old news, but my wife just came across her picture and I couldn&amp;#39;t believe it! She&amp;#39;s back in the news due to being convicted of perjury.
