There's also "The Whizzinator" that an NFL player was caught with during a security check at an airport.

They should give the yellow jersey to Peter Luttenberger!
Um . . . his first name is Peter, right? I hope I'm not thinking of some other Luttenberger.

There is/was another store in the Lansing area where you can get the stuff that would require you to have a filled fake phallus.

It sounds like people around here are so angry that our sports (mainly, cylcing) are so riddled with drugs that you are looking to point the finger at someone else and say it isn't just us. Well the bottom line is you don't know if it is or isn't. I am standing on proof and you are standing on a festering turd of pure speculation. They must be on drugs they are bigger, faster and stronger than 20 years ago.
Yes, players are bigger, stronger and faster its a natural progression! Just like doctors are doing more amazing things. It is a function primarily of two things: A) larger pool of talent B) earlier sport specific training and development
With regards to A) as money grows the league grows and more kids are motivated to live the dream B) look around high schools now. The days of the triple sport athlete are dwindling. You have people playing or training for one sport all year round as early as 10 years old.
You can't say one sport is clean while the others are not. Athletes in every sport are breaking records as fast if not faster than in football. So I assume you believe every sport is filthy.

I have to admit that I was not unlike many Americans in that I was a bit naive about the level of doping in the pro peleton, and even more naive about the participation of American athletes. Not so any more. Honestly, if I were French (which I am...sort of...folks came over in 1600), I would be pissed too. The French have a very aggressive testing program. If you knew that your guys were not getting results because everybody else was doped, wouldn't you be pissed? I can understand the push to expose the dopers, even if it seems a bit hostile at times.
Did anyone see the article on velo news about the raids on the Quick Step team's homes. Supposedly several arrests. Another team to be excluded from the Tour???

I think I remember Phil Liggett saying rather famously somewhere that if Lance Armstrong is found to have ridden dirty that he would wash his hands of cycling altogether. I wonder what he, and other high-profile media people think about this Hamilton/Landis/Basso/Zabel/Riis situation? Add Virenque and Millar and I'm just about ready to hang up my interest. I know it's shite to bag a sport because of a few bad apples, but it makes me think about all the guys I knew growing up who rode their asses off just to make some of the smaller US Classic races, and never even had a chance on the international stage because they didn't have the resources to dope.

Truthfully, for French riders to dope now, if they belong to a Pro team, it's pretty hard with a 'suivi longitudinal'. The French Anti Doping Agency tried to impose a similar process for all riders but it failed unfortunately.
That said, I don't think we have many really talented riders right now anyway, so I still think someone not french would win the tour...
Before doping, fancy bikes etc. the main thing remains to have a truly gifted rider. Armstrong, Ullrich, etc. were truly amazing riders, doped or not. France doesn't have a Hinault or an Anquetil at the moment.

Ding ding ding!!! Absolutely, at least every endurance or power sport. Beta blockers in the ones that require a steady hand.
You can't honestly believe that the "American" sports are clean..."football" and baseball are amongst the worst because of the money involved. If you can make a shedload of cash playing a sport and just need that bit extra to get there, most athletes seem to be able to justify it to themselves, often on the grounds that "everyone else is doing it" or "this stuff isn't even banned (yet)". I don't see this "proof" you're standing on, a lack of failed tests is nothing of the sort with the labs being way ahead of the testers and the adminstrators running a half-assed testing program however they might try to spin it as otherwise.
If you wanted to make a case for curling being clean I might believe you. You need drugs to watch that one :)

More money means filthier.
Operacion Puerto has 200 athletes listed. 50 pro riders. Not one athlete of the other 150 got any problem whatsoever...not one...even though there were a few names that came out that were really well known (zidane, ronaldinho, nadal for instance...)

Yeah, cycling's a mess but at least theytry to tackle it and do so in public. The really big money sports that run their own programs just sweep it under the carpet to keep the cash rolling in.

Actually I emailed the NFL and MLB about their drug policies b/c neither is posted on their website (like it is on the UCI). I asked which drugs were tested for vis a vis the WADA list and I recieved a "thank you sports fan" generic type email that told me to write the respective league and they would send me a copy of the program. I think Collinsworth is a little overexuberant here and the leagues simply don't do as much testing, nor punish as hard as the UCI. Comparatively speaking, before and after every game, various athletes would be tested, including all those who scored a touchdown, hit a home-run, threw a no-hitter, etc, especially during the playoffs/championships. There would also be a lot more out of competition testing that would occur too. It really is hard to say that the NFL, MLB and NBA are focused on the doping problem when they don't do enough testing to find out if they have one.

I have read several places, one I believe was Carl Lewis's autobiography, that 12 hours is more than enough time take diuretics, then intake a buch of water, to reduce the detectable content in the blood the amount necessary to pass a drug test.
So 72 hours seems very long.....

As far as I know nobody has made any great strides in weightlifting or nutrition science since 1970, aside from drugs.
Read old bodybuilding or powerlifting books. There is basically nothing new.

look around high schools now. The days of the triple sport athlete are dwindling.
One more thing....if you look around American high schools now you see that the days of the athlete are dwindling, mainly because the size of the kids is doing the opposite.
But the NFL provides an opportunity for the 300lb lardass who lifts a bit and can run for 3 seconds to get paid as a sportsman, now that's the American dream...
