I can't decide if this is a running related topic, so Open Mic Night it is...

How ridiculous, now they start injecting their horses. People never learn do they? About illegal performance-enhancing drugs, I think they actually don't help in performance at all. So many athletes have doped and they actually didn't make them unique. Sprinters for example-with so many that doped, we should be seeing 9.5s. I've even seen normal bodybuilders look more sculpted than those that take dope. What do you think? _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

I disagree strongly. History has proven that many of the "clean" athletes doped all along, just they were never caught. Who's to say that it's even possible to run sub-10 clean? We have no idea what the true baseline measurement is.

It means we have no way of knowing. A clean test result has been shown to mean nothing.

Well then I guess my dad may be right, drugs are advancing. Where there are rules, there's also cheating. _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

Do you have any information on how these horses performed? Only IF they were caught after. _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

Oh ok then, I thought you caught horse racing during the Olympics. _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8

It was Equestrian. They don't have horse racing in the Olympics, as far as I know. But given some of the wacky events that have been added, it wouldn't shock me...

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure what the exact type of competition was, just the competition involving horses is important ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8
