An oldie but a goodie. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/update-all-drug-olympics/1198068/
As we continue to stroll down steroid memory lane, let's remember the 1976 East German women's swim team.
I think what is needed now is some sort of public service announcement for all those youngsters considering steroid use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk75Dehq2kY
What's amusing to me now is the pretense that there are ANY more than a few athletes who are NOT pumping themselves up in the Olympics,professional, and college sports. Even in high school football, major supplements are ubiquitous.
Kind of sad how much of this goes on in American hight school sports teams. Fun fact: Steroids shrink your man bits, I don't know anyone who'd want THAT.
Which would be more popular - an Olympics with no steroids or an Olympics with unlimited steroids? My guess is that more Americans would tune into the freak show.
I remember in Toronto where I used to live and where I am occasionally, the city council decided to ban diving boards in all public swimming pools back in 2002. The idea was, teens who used these diving boards were too noisy, and some city councillers who happened to attend these pools felt annoyed and offended. Then the TO city council went a step further and banned the general public from using diving towers (with an exception at a single locality) that a few pools were facilitated with, making them available exclusively to divers on professional teams who would prop-up Canada's prestige internationally. That's how Canadian elites promote and encourage sports, by endowing those useful to them as haves, while everyone else as have-nots. With Canada a no show at the Olympics, in London (1 gold medal), Beijing and Athens, perhaps the time is ripe for the people of Toronto to take back their public pools and diving towers. I mean, who do steroid users gain access to a better infrastructure while steroid non-users don't?
