Steeds meer jonge bodybuilders op de operatietafel

  Werner Franke, de moleculair bioloog die de DDR-dopingmachinerie onderzocht, vindt dat de overheid de anabolenepidemie 'verzwijgt'. Artsen melden steeds vaker kapotte levers, hartafwijkingen en persoonsveranderingen bij jonge bodybuilders. (Ärzte Zeitung)

  Anti-dopingcampagne met John Godina en Tara Cunningham begint (Philadelphia Inquirer, 08/04/2004) Godina: "By taking shortcuts, you're going to build inadequacy in yourself and a feeling that you cheated yourself. Sports are there to make you feel proud about what you can do and any shortcut you're taking - that's only cheating you out of what exactly you're doing sports for."
  Dopingexpert Franke: omzeilen tests voor anabolen is een makkie (DPA, Mittwoch, 4. August 2004) [Offline] "Für Antidopingkämpfer Werner Franke genügen die Kontrollen bei den Olympischen Spielen nicht, um die Einnahme unerlaubter Mittel zu verhindern. „Bei den meisten Dopingsubstanzen reicht es, wenn man sie zwei Wochen vorher bsetzt. Das sind etwa die Anabolika, die nicht in den Fettdepots des Körpers gespeichert werden. Die werden in 14 Tagen abgebaut“, sagte der Molekularbiologe. Wer bis heute nicht kontrolliert worden sei, den werde man auch in Athen nicht erwischen."

It felt like my arms were burning/itchy. The thing that really freaked me out bad was my pupils were huge.''

  Ethicus: Laten we doping omarmen en legaliseren (The Age, August 3, 2004) Kollum van Julian Savulescu, University of Oxford, en Bennett Foddy.
"Carl Lewis once said, "To be the best, work the hardest." Wouldn't it be wonderful if the fairytale were true? Sadly, it is not. Sport discriminates against the genetically unfit. Genetic tests can already identify those with the greatest potential. If you have one version of the ACE gene, you will have endurance. Another gene will predispose you to win at short events. Black Africans, for example, generally fare better at short-distance events because of biologically advantageous muscle type and bone structure.
Sport is the province of the genetic elite, or freak. The starkest example is the Finnish skier Eoro Maentyranta. In 1964, he won two gold medals. Subsequently, it was found he had a genetic mutation that meant that he "naturally" had 40-50 per cent more red blood cells than the average competitor. Was it fair that chance gave him a significant advantage?"

  Irakese sportschoolhouder hoopt dat Arnold de Verlosser hem uit de problemen helpt (Christian Science Monitor, August 02, 2004) "Gym owner Sabah Taleb Mehdi's first son received two names: on government documents it's Abdullah. To family and friends he is Arnold.
In 2000, Mehdi tried to name his gym, then the "Elegant Bodies House," after Arnold. But Saddam Hussein's psychopathic son Uday, who controlled the Olympic Commission, wouldn't allow it: no foreign names for Iraqi gyms. The minute Hussein's statue fell, he renamed the gym.
"It was my lifelong dream," he says fervently, sitting in his tiny office strewn with weightlifting magazines and Arnoldiana. Above him, Arnolds flex and prance across the walls, next to a line from the Koran that could be a bodybuilder's motto: God does not oppress people, but people oppress themselves."

  ,,Tachtig procent gebruikt EPO? Zeg maar gerust honderd procent'' (Ottawa Sun) Canadese sporters klagen steen en been over doping. Soms hypocriet, soms oprecht.

  Voordat anabolenonderzoek begint nemen vijf agenten spontaan ontslag In Jefferson Parish, waar een paar maanden geleden LiquidResearch werd opgerold, blijven vreemde dingen gebeuren.
  ,,More informed than those currently in the medical field'' Amerikaans TV-Station sprak met een anonieme 'cook', die zelf zijn anabolen maakt, en een arts die faliekant tegen androgenen in de sport is. Illustratief.
"John is not a doctor. In fact, he has no formal medical training. His opinions stem from independent research “leafing through a number of medical studies and articles published in a variety of journals and establishments."
That, according to John, makes him not only smarter, but more informed than those currently in the medical field.
"The thing with doctors is, keep in mind, they're learning from people who've been told from the beginning that this is wrong. They're going off of a hand fed opinion to them without doing their own research,” said John. “If I know more than a doctor with more medical history, then I'm willing to say yes, that doctors are misinformed and miseducated on this matter." He argues the positive effects of anabolic steroids, if listed, are a mile long."

  Flo Jo kocht groeihormoon van bodybuilder (Guardian) "It is the drug that left a shadow over the death, at 38, of Florence Griffith-Joyner. The American died in 1998 after an apparent heart seizure in her sleep. Flo-Jo had transformed her body in her mid-20s, and was later accused of using HGH. Her post-mortem showed signs of excessive growth of organs, including her heart, which contributed to her death and may have been a direct result of drug use.
Suspicions about Griffith-Joyner began at the start of the 1988 season, when she returned after a long lay-off and set a world 100m record of 10.49sec, an improvement on the previous mark of 0.27sec. A year after winning the 100 and 200m in Seoul, Flo-Jo was accused by a fellow American sprinter, Darrell Robinson, in a paid interview with a German magazine, of taking HGH.
He claimed she had asked him to find out the cost of HGH. When he later told her it was $2,000, she allegedly replied: "If you want to make a million dollars, you've got to invest a couple of thousand." He said he bought the HGH from a bodybuilder in Los Angeles and that one evening he slipped the drugs into Flo-Jo's training bag after being paid with 20 $100 bills."

  ,,Ik heb Marion Jones persoonlijk geïnjecteerd'' (Associated Press) Jones won haar medailles in Sydney op een cocktail van THG, insuline, EPO en groeihormoon.
"The ex-husband of three-time Olympic champion Marion Jones, C.J. Hunter, told federal investigators that Jones was using banned performance-enhancing drugs during the 2000 Games in Sydney where she won five medals, two newspapers reported.
The San Francisco Chronicle said C.J. Hunter told Internal Revenue Service investigators pursuing the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative case that he personally injected his then-wife with banned substances and saw Jones inject herself with the drugs at their home in Australia. Human growth hormone, the steroid THG, insulin and the endurance-boosting drug EPO were among the substances Hunter alleged that Jones used.
Citing investigators' memos, the Chronicle reported that Hunter gave a 21/2-hour interview to IRS investigators on June 8 in Raleigh, N.C., and had a follow-up call a week later. During the interview, Hunter alleged that Jones had used banned substances before, during and after the Sydney Olympics.
"Hunter stated that he saw Jones inject herself with EPO," IRS agent Erwin Rogers wrote in one of the memos quoted by the Chronicle. "Jones would inject herself in the front waist line area slightly underneath the skin. ... Initially, Hunter injected Jones because Jones did not want to inject herself in this location."
Hunter alleged that Jones obtained performance-enhancing drugs from Victor Conte, owner of BALCO, and from her coach, Trevor Graham. Conte has pleaded not guilty to steroid conspiracy charges and Graham denied to investigators that he supplied Jones with steroids."
