Couple of entertainment sport media points:
#1) steroids, peptide hormones, post menopause hormones, fertility hormones, insulin, hGH, eGH, creams, clear drops, Deca Durabolin, Stanozolol, Salbutamol inhation, Pot Belge, heroin, morphine, marijuana, Prozac, Lithium, reseach drugs, Actovegin, blood bags labled 'Cowboy', 'Brillo', 'Son of Rudy' are LEGAL to possess and to ingest in this medicated world. (no athlete ever gets prison time for doping, EVER)
#2) I have NEVER failed a $200 urine test.
#3) If I ever do fail a urine test it will because of the French people, sample mislabelling, Jack Daniels consumption, alien beings, flawed Power Point presentations, dishonest physicians, or Nike wanting to cancel my endorsement.
#4) PEDs work--that is why they are ubiquitoius in Grand Tour racing.
#5) Sales of PEDs are lucrative for dealers and the dealer network. Especially in the teenager markets.
#6) PEDs can be addictive and thus, a spectacular source of annuity cash flows (unsolicited reorders)
#7) Big Pharma loves PEDs. hGH is not just for dwarfism anymore. Insulin not just for diabetes. EPO not just for Chemo.
Drugs, supplements, marketing, empty denials all go together, yet are everywhere around us.
Look for some exciting drug scandals in 2007!
