My first experiences with reading about performance enhancing drugs were in the muscle mags and the Russian strength training literature. In university I read Speed Trap by Charlie Francis, which seemed to imply that everyone was using drugs and, in fact, you had to use drugs to compete at the Olympic level. It seems that the hunt is on for those taking performance enhancing drugs and even those prescribing performance enhancing drugs. The Tour de France has had a rough go of it for a while now. Since the Balco incident baseball has gotten a bad rap. Is it the fact that people take it or that they lie about taking it?
