Amateur Athletes' PED use

Hi, Here's a link to an article www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/01/AR2008080102590.html in today's Washington Post that I wrote on performance enhancing drug use by amateur athletes. Thanks again to everyone who responded to my questions on this subject a few months ago. I know there is a lot more to say on the subject so stay tuned. I've got to say, Red Bull really does seem to help..... Nothing shocking there, I would bet there are golfers taking PED's to get another 5 yards on their drive etc. I'd rather forgo the top-ten and not risk organ damage or heart attack. I had a bad experience with ephedra a few years back, I was ready to fight everyone at the drop of a hat, and it made my chest pound hard when I got agitated. I quit the stuff I was taking and then shortly after the whole ephedra scandal thing became news topic.
