Enlightening Article on Performance Enhancement

This link is work/family safe, points to an article on the International Association of Athletics Federations website, and is the anecdote of an amateur athlete's experiment with performance enhancing drugs.

It is a truly enlightening and interesting article, and a great read. Thought I'd share it with the community.

I've always wondered, now I know. Interesting article. At 46, I am definitely not 29 anymore, (or even 39 for that matter). Since I didn't see anywhere in the article where the hair on his head grew back, and the price is thru the roof, I think I'll forego phd experiments on myself.

What a wonderful treatment on the subject. A self examination through experience like this adds a sense of both credibility and interest. No question why this is so attractive to those for whom a winning performance is part of their job description and on the other side, no wonder the level playing field idea is so important. To ignore drug testing makes sport a battle of the better pharmacist.
