good lord, i posted crap, here is an edited version....
i spoke with a body builder somewhere in asia yesterday.
among-st the interesting conversation about training techniques he mentioned that in the 1990s he was a wannabe - was going to take a run at pro cycling, having conquered the lower levels of spinning in australia.
quote: so he went to get a good coach, he met with a german guru who said.... your arms and legs are too long.
and you need to inject. EPO, HGH, and other stuff.
plus cycle 1000 km per week, etc.
and we start our program at AGE 12.

this is par for the course in extreme areas of ultra competitive ruthless sport with track being no exception. and when you take drugs, you become an instant and often ridiculous liar. ... so thinks victor conte and myself.

track has got to face that their records going way way back are mostly drug records. period. yet the naivety is infinite. even the founders here seem kind of born yesterday at times.
