Question

What proportion of Olympic athletes are on performance-enhancing drug substances?

Answer 1

Far too many, and the fact that there are far too many makes us suspicious of those athletes who perform remarkable feats drug free.

This belittles their achievements and that disgusts me! Shame on the IOC and the National Athletics bodies who are to greedy and/or too dirty to enforce year round weekly or monthly testing for ALL active athletes.

Oh and before someone says it, the masking techniques MAY be advanced but they are not foolproof or NO-ONE would get caught.

The reason clean athletes have to tolerate this garbage is because, despite making billions off atheltes efforts every year, many in the IOC and the National Athletics organisations of each country are too busy getting their snouts in the trough.

These administrators want their junkets and perks too much to waste money on doping tests and despite making BILLIONS on TV rights, endorsements, merchandising etc they then say that they "CANNOT AFFORD" to run a fulltime doping schedule.

I feel sorry for every clean athlete beaten by a drug cheat. They will never have that chance again, and all because corrupt administrators want to empire build and swill another glass of champagne! SHAME!

Answer 2

It is best not to think about it otherwise every outstanding performance would be under suspicion.  Personally, I think there would be less than you think.

Answer 3

That is a scary thought. Probably more than we would like.

Answer 4

Dana Torres, Phelps, Jason Lezac, Shawn Johnson - to name a few, they all look suspecious.

Answer 5

In a survey of Australian Athletes before the games they thought that up to 60% of their opponents would be on Performance enhancing drugs AND that up to 10% of there own team mates are on the Juice!
