I have a good friend who swam and won a Gold medal as part of the US Olympic team. She said the East German swimmer were monsters. Their voices were very masculine and they had hair growing on their backs and faces. Sound like a red flag. They beat the system but were most definitely dirty.

[@georgeplagianos6487]

Wow that's some experience your friend had. Women transitioning into muscle monsters.. now we have this transgender issue with still biological males that haven't fully transitioned and measuring a lower testosterone count but how could they still allowed them to participate in women sports. It's very confusing.. how do we put that in perspective is there an analogy here with drugs turning women with more male traits. And today in the year 2000s men are transitioning into women but still have the same muscular structure as men it's a real mind blower and it doesn't sound fair. Well on that note why don't they drop the mail and female swim team all together and just have a unisex swim team see how many women are going to win the sports. I'll bring a lot of brouhaha to the issue instead of being steamrolled by The advocates

East Germany was nothing special , from where they get doping ?! From West , in Western part of Germany and world labs were developed to produce those drugs , that's the fact . It's highly immoral to accuse one nation and whole eastern bloc for cheating , while you are cheating yourself , and it was known among players that in West Bloc doping was more prevalent . Do they use doping in Cuba today ? Coaches need to mix sugar and water due to lack of money to give them proper glycogen replenishment . Still Cubans are winning because they are talented and have good sports system from childhood selection etc . I am totaly against communism and other totalitarian regimes thou , but they had superior sport system and invested a lot of money into their sports back in the day . Those athletes risked everything , they could even get killed if not winning . Best of athletes didn't even received any privileges and salaries like in the West . They all dreamed about moving to Western Bloc and having better life as champions . Give them proper respect , they are heroes , not villains .

The East Germans were well ahead of their time with their doping system since it was government/state sponsored. The US never had anything remotely close to that level; their success was due to numerous swim clubs throughout the country and collegiate level swimming. Those athletes were considered amateurs and pretty much had to find their own funding during their swimming careers (unlike today where athletes can obtain corporate sponsorship).

[@_M_V_]

Four Seasons Dude, please. You can’t really believe this. This has been happening for years. It’s mostly about a nation’s prestige.

[@FourSeasons04]

@@_M_V_ Yes, doping is more prevalent now. But, I am referring to the 1970's and early 80's when the EG doping system was 2nd to none. The obvious signs showed in their muscular and over bulked athletes particularly the female swimmers and track athletes. They clearly had bodies similar to males. During that time, you just didn't see that with US athletes. This isn't to say doping didn't exist within the US, but not on a national scale similar to the Eastern Bloc nations.

[@_M_V_]

Four Seasons With all the respect, you are too naive. First of all, you don’t need to look like the hulk to be on steroids. Second, USA athletes almost always have had almost the same results as the athletes from other nations that have been caught “cheating”(I don’t know if it really is cheating since everyone is using anabolics). Everyone is using them, they have been invented since the 20s(early forms of testosterone, not like nowadays). It’s just a matter of who’s being caught using them or, better put, who they want to be caught using them.

Did it never cross your mind the west boycotted Moscow and the Eastern Bloc boycotted LA84 as they knew they couldnt prevent their athletes being tested? the IOC failed to publish the test results of many top athletes at LA or Seoul including the 2 most successful US gold medallists to avoid scandals exposing western gold medallists.

[@NYCBlonde]

It's a good question. The IOC is messed up and conservative--they are hesitant to go back *that* far (IMO) and strip medals from 40+ years ago and set a precedent. But the East German program was *so* egregious--they flouted the law *so* flagrantly (FS, one of the EG women ended transitioning to be a man, and not really by choice) that I kind of think they should.

I have to laugh at all of the finger pointing in this comments section, as if anyone's (successful) athletes weren't/aren't using something. People pretending like East Germany or the Eastern Bloc were the lone pioneers of doping when the 1970's Pittsburgh Steelers are known to have been all gassed up are being intellectually dishonest.

[@JoanneLight]

Here's a reply on the hypocrisy of the IOC in this matter: Why weren't the gold and silver medals, awarded to the two female East German swimmers at the 1976 summer Olympics in Montreal, recalled (when the weightlifting medal given to the same country's athlete was) and the rightful champion, Nancy Garapick of Canada, vaulted to her legitimate place as the gold medalist. I wrote to the Canadian Olympic Committee about this scandal and didn't even receive a reply. As recently as this year's Paris Olympics, a Canadian commentator, in the heat featuring Canadian Kylie Masse, listed the five Canadian women (and their rank) who had received medals in this event throughout history, named Garapick as having won a bronze medal. Why hasn't this injustice been corrected and named Garapick as the clean swimming champion that she was?

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Show have some links to some actual studies about mood swings.

[@glasshalffull8471]

It would cool if we had 2 Olympics, 1 for clean athletes and another for doping athletes, it would be interesting to see how advanced the science can evolve, I'm a bif Tour de France fan and imo it was alot more exciting around the Armstrong era when they went full bore everyday in the mountains, it can get a bit boring now when a rider gets a 2 minute lead overall and just keeps it for 2 weeks, Dope Olympics would be dope, might be hard to keep them under control though.

I would rather just let them do whatever they want, since it seems like too many are already doing it anyway. Even today I look at top level athletes and many do not even look human, especially in the NFL.

[@bysonchi]

It's like saying Shaq does not look normal and imply he used PEDs. NFL players are big, women are not supposed to sound like men. Dumb statement.

[@luissoares92]

There's no actual drug testing in NFL. All players are juiced because the league does not inforce any credible drug testing protocols.
