Daily Steroid Dose
1. Steroid era fallout: 41 year-old mother swims faster now than younger years...brings out the questions. Dana Torres attempts to qualify for her 5th Olympiad. (St Louis Post-Dispatch)
2. More on Julie Coram, Canadian fitness competitor. (Winnipeg Sun)
As one poster on steroidnation.com opined, "This is going to hurt her career,
unless the Preakness is up next on the agenda."
3. Mark Zeigler looking at steroid connections in the Olympic Trials. (Finally got this link to work)(San Diego Union-Tribune)
4. We saw the women's 100 finals last night. How in nature's green earth do women develop traps like a linebacker? Torri Edwards photo above left. Six pack anyone
(she is 5-4, 127 of ripped muscles; where does that testosterone come from)? Compare her muscle mass with Carl Lewis.
Floyd Landis also posed for a comparison. Edwards would kick Landis' butt.
Certainly, Torri Edwards has an athletic and muscular physique.
But don't forget she weighs approximately 25 lbs LESS than the AVERAGE WOMEN HER HEIGHT!
I think the NFL is safe from 127 lb linebackers ;-)
If we are intent on judging doping by physical appearance, how in the world can we explain that 150 lb. Floyd Landis weighs approximately 40 lbs LESS than the average man his height?
Even the average 5'4" woman weighs MORE than Floyd!

The 'sight test' isn't so good, we admit that but...
Look at those traps. Impressive. One of the muscle groups that responds well to anabolic steroids is that upper shoulder girdle. Lifters try hard to develop traps. Edwards's delt-bicep-tricep tie in also looks incredible.
Perhaps she was gifted with fantastic genetics...or an overload of endogenous androgens. Or perhaps....

And btw, Floyd Landis never impressed us with his physique....agree there.

Floyd's sport is all about endurance. You don't build arms and shoulders riding a bike. Edward s body is for sprinting. I would thinhk there is a big difference between the way how they train their bodies.
