Patch Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 do you think that a good -portion of the athletes compeating in the olympics are cheating in someway? and what sports do you think are the "dirty" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategos Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I highly doubt that more than two or three athletes might have been taking drugs. The olympics have very strict drug testing schemes, and as such, is highly unlikely that a significant number of athletes would risk taking drugs. As I believe, already two athletes were found positive for drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torridity Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I agree, I don't think a good portion of the athletes are using performance-enhancing steroids. It's usually only a couple (who are discovered anyway), mostly because the consequences are pretty severe. The sports with the worst reputations for steroid use are probably weight-lifting and cycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I agree with the opinions so far - the Olympics are a highly publicised event, and only really stupid athletes would try and cheat using steroids. Firstly, it would seriously damage their reputation if they were caught, and secondly, the drug screening systems are top-of-the-line, meaning if you do take performance-enhancing drugs, you almost certainly well get caught. :yes: Seriously, abuse of performance-enhancing drugs is totally unsporting. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
