Olympic Dope Show

A collection of T-Nation articles on the Olympics and Roids, which will help us keep everything in perspective. Just remember when one athlete is pointing a finger, there should probably be a finger pointing back at that athlete too. Charlie Francis, best known as Ben Johnson's coach, offers some biting insight into the world of the olympics.

I also know it goes much deeper than the occasional cheating athlete. I've read too much about the politics, the bribery, the State-funded doping, the sabotage, and the millions of dollars changing hands under the table. The athletes are just the pawns. In fact, the steroid using athletes are probably the most innocent pieces on the international chess board. Heck, I like the athletes, but I hate the shadowy games they're forced to play.
