songs of experience

Track & Field Olympian, Joan Nesbit Mabe, waxes philosophical... and sometimes wanes.

One more thing about drugs and then I’ll try to shut up, I promise!
What I hate more than sly cheaters who skirt the issue by saying “I’ve never tested positive,” or busted cheaters who say, “not to my knowledge” did I take drugs … I despise drug users who blow their compeitiion away with cyborg arms raised, then kiss their hands and point to heaven … as if, AS IF, God somehow sanctioned their sorry cheating asses. I have a personal UN-favorite in this category - another one of tricky Trevor Graham’s crew. During interviews after her nefarious victories, she smiles through steroid teeth, her once-beautiful face now truly distored with human growth hormone, and has the spiritual audacity to make God complicit in her sin … yes, I’ll say it, SIN. “I just want to thank God; without Him none of this would be possible.”

Is G.O.D. an acronym for a new PED, like HGH or EPO?
Check out the photo below. With the head cropped off, can you tell … is that a man’s body or a woman’s?
woman?

To God be the glory?
Puhhleeeeaze!

  1. You say that you will “try to shut up” about the steroid issue, but I don’t think that you should.

    It is important to talk about this matter, especially when everyone involved just wants to wait it out - much in the same way that the baseball players have done.

    Sit out a few meets, keep your head low and soon the sports writers and newscasters will move on to something else.

    Hell, while they are lying low, they might as well get a few more doses of “the clear.”

  2. Agree with Jocko — no need to be quiet on this issue, and your perspective and experience are valuable. But now you’ll have to tell us: who is in the picture, and who was the woman in question with the hGH distorted face ( . . . and are they one in the same)?

    Either people speak out, complain and kvetch about drugs or track just becomes a freak show sport like body building or the bearded lady at the carnival.

  4. L.C.-I “cheated” and found the pic while surfing. Or maybe it’s Justin with painted nails. She’s more ripped than Marion who’s more ripped than Justin who feels ripped off and is going to take an 8 year vacation. He might come back at age 32 looking like a late 70’s version of Lou Ferrigno.

  5. I have to confess. I’ve been cheating - taking hormone therapy.

    What, you think I got these D cups by benchpressing? nope - hormone therapy, so I could race against women. I got tired of the women taking testosterone and cheating, so I started taking estrogen to cheat in the other direction.

    So now I’ve got this nice cleavage - but the new problem is that I can’t find time to train, since all I want to do is stay home and watch _Under the Tuscan Sun_ and read Danielle Steele and drink chamomile tea.
