THG A Wonder Drug?

[Guest]

People have been lamenting all year about the severe lack of sub-10s in the 100. Clearly we only have two options; either THG isn't a paricularly effective drug or none of the positives that come in will affect that event.

Here's a new concept-maybe drugs arent the only things that effect performance.

Trying to wade through all the links you guys are puttig up from the bayarea newspapers takes awhile!

I was particularly interested to read the Frisco paper one about "Bay Area Lab Owner's Troubled Past". This is a dude with problems!

An excerpt from the above link: "Athletes looking for an edge have sworn by Conte's prescription of high- tech "chemical element analysis" followed by nutritional supplements - usually his signature product ZMA. BALCO promised athletes a 30 percent increase in testosterone levels - and greater strength and endurance, fewer muscle cramps, even more restful sleep."

What quackery!! There is not one iota of medical support for this nonsense. The guy is a charlatan, a dangerous one, too. The only way he could deliver the 30% increase in testosterone levels was to have anabolic steroids (testosterone) in the mix. I hope the charges stick, so he can't con anybody else.
