Re: Who is doped?

Some questions Kurt - What type of effect and how significant an effect must a substance have before it is deemed 'performance enhancing'?, and if there are no reliable testing methods for certain banned substances then how can we determine whether or not the athlete in question has cheated?
Must we give them them benefit of the doubt or monitor them 24/7. Maybe a permanent minder to follow them and watch their every move.
I am not trying to be stupid here I am just saying that there are no easy answers yet to your questions. Be assured scientist around the world are working on this problem.
If I make a record (one day I hope) I will be satisfied knowing I got there by my own will, intelligence, and perserverance, and not by sinister means.
