When Sharapova was a teenager she was growing so much in just 3 month and told herself to others that her dad gave her grow hormones.

There are more tennis players who admitted of getting grow hormones and not all of me made it as far as Sharapova but when will the tennis sport and other sports be more investigated.

Also the lies about real ages is absurd and known but kept silence by lot of companies like Nike, Addidas and management companies like IMG!

Most athletes that are using of have used have to live with the chances that are way higher of getting cancer or strokes or brain issues...I guess that is the karma for cheating.

It really bothers me that a lot these high-level athletes seem to be cheating. I didn't watch the Lance Armstrong interview but just heard that he also used blood transfusions?

Wow. Honestly, I wouldn't put it past some parents with regard to high school athletes.

As soon as the Williams sisters turn over their sex-change operation records.

I'm not sure Venus doped....possible she supplemented with low doses or HGH and/or steroids....But Serena, without a doubt, doped...she can deny it until the cows come home but the proof is in the pudding.

All the tour riders were doping so basically it was a plain play field although I'm very upset about the lawsuits Lance filed and basically bullied others while he even lied under oath.

In tennis some people don't use and play fair so it is very sad that the top is able to get away and being protected by IMG and others who know it is going on...starting with the age cheaters so they will get a sponsorship at a young age.

Raphael Nadal hasn't been playing for a while and sometimes he backed out and it is well known he was using it too.

In NFL I'm sure there are some guys using too and I wonde rif the guy who committed suicide recently and was diagnosed with brain damage was also using since we all know that using doping can cause change in behavior, cancer, strokes, etc.

Drug in Sharapova doping case used by Soviet troops in 1980s

Well, Sharapova came clean almost immediately about taking a substance that was banned Jan. 1st. The banned substance clearly has the properties of a performance enhancer, regardless of her explanation for using it. Would her career have been nearly as successful without it? Is there shame in an athlete taking a substance for years, that was only recently banned?

^^ I don't think there is shame in it at all.^^

It wasn't banned before Jan 1st, so IMO it was perfectly acceptable to be using it.
