The drug use by athletes now a days is scary. The athletes such as Thorpe are to blame but not completely. Society as a whole has made winning such a great importance that the athletes will do almost anything to reach their goals. Our society needs to step back and think about what we are creating. I deal mainly with Jr. High and High School athletes in the US and we try very hard as coaches to make them understand sportsmanship and the use of hard work to reach goals. But they are constantly being bombarded from the outside world that they can enhance their performance with this drug or that supplement. Some of it may be ok but most scare me to death. Oh for the good old days when kids just wanted to have fun.

What a load of bull.
A French newspaper reports… oh, and a high level of testosterone is not an indication of anything.

Thorpe’s retirement was well publicised in Aus. He had extensive meetings with a life coach before he decided to do it.

The fact that this rubbish has been allowed to tarnish the career of one of the greatest swimmers the world has seen AFTER he has retired is outrageous.

Ian Thorpe is just another one of those drug users so that he could win medals like many other people which is really sad for him growing up in a great childhood than becoming a drug user 🙁

Nice picture of Thorpey there. . .

Is the number of world records at the recent Melbourne swimming titles due to a) better swimmers b) short pool or c) they have never tested properly for drugs in Australia – hence no Aussies testing positive
