If everyone's doping maybe they should administer everyone an equal shot of dope adjusted for individual BMI and metabolism or whatever before every event.

I thought doping was that oxygen enhancing technique where you remove some blood and put it back later.

Seems the term doping has become a generic term to describe any drugs used to enhance performance.

What's up with that?

Nice try buddy. If someone disagrees with your point of view it's because of some sort of shortcoming in their personality. That's convenient for you isn't it?

It has nothing to do with disagreement. It has to do with someone suggesting that someone is cheating just because they are doing well even when there is absolutely no evidence that Phelps has cheated other than the fact that he does well. I guess to some, a great performance is now evidence of cheating.

Park Taehwan is Asthmatic.

One must wonder is he is taking any steroidal treatment for this condition?

Everyone has the opportunity to use steroids and GH, they're much cheaper than those suits. The good full body suits run around $500, but one's Olympians wear might be more.

That's usually called blood doping. BTW I'd call it a red blood cell enhancing technique (untestable by the way).

Always been that way.
