The Clear, The Cream, The Craziness...
The San Francisco Chronicle has reported that Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi testified to a Federal Grand Jury that they had taken performance enhancing drugs including Human Growth Hormone.
Victor Conte will appear on 20/20 tonight and apparently "out" some very prominent Olympians regarding their used of banned substances.
I think we are witnessing the apex of the pharmacological-based doping era. I think that the revelations and admissions will continue to a point where this time will be considered a watershed moment in elite sport. Fearing detection and embarrasment, athletes, coaches and mad scientists will begin to reach into the "final frontier"- Genetic Engineering. This will be the doping program to end all doping programs. The "Uber-Athlete" will dominate. Whoever has the best molecular biologist wins. To me, that is truly scary.
Seems like a far cry from the 19th century when drinking coffee prior to competion was considered "bad form".
