Griz, screw the olympics as they are a crock at the best of times. Aristoddler, has the correct response, only I am not sure if he knows why. Performance and durability. I cannot imagine that the body can sustain the effects of a constant barrage of damaging blows, those that happen in Grid Iron, Rugby, Hockey I guess as I don't know the sport at all, then continue to function accordingly. The drugs help develop the body abnormally so as to buffer the impact. A Rugby player can and has played on with a broken neck, as the muscles around that part of the body were abnormally large, some sportspeople use it to support the muscles that allow for better playing ability, rather than enhance a skill.

Thing is where do you draw the line between performance and durability.
