The toughest Antidoping Program ever seen at the winter games is under way in sochi, athletes undergoing tests and more testing. The reason . Doping. Ing becoming more creative and how it can skew results from your medicine chest. Doctor, arent most of the drugs in our medicine cabinet band at the olympics . Yes.

Are you taking down steroids and bulk up muscle that will help the other, not just injured muscles. If you have people taking flar cottic pain pills and theyre in speed skating and you have somebody doped up going around the track, can mess up the other athletes . Dont want that happening.
