This is NUTS! Testosterone still seems to inflict an edge in strength to those poisoned with it. Which explains all the "doping" going on at the elite sport level. Therefor any sport where strength provides a edge to an athlete, the testosterone level in that athlete will make a difference.(All else being equal, which anyone, who knows ANYthing about people, knows is crazy. All else is NEVER equal. Even clones have differences in, if nothing else, their evironment.) On the other hand - it seems, SEEMS mind you, that female hormones provide their recipients with more grace, fluidity and sense of balance. The differences between "male" and "female" athletes is MUCH more of a 'sliding scale' thing than some binary absolute. Just as we all know that gender identity is such. So long as there are "sport dads or moms" i.e. people who DEMAND and are willing to go to extraordinary lengths for their chosen athlete to win, there will be cheating and "doping" in all sports. Artificially enhanced athletes will always have the edge and methods of cheating will always outstrip methods of catching them. It is for this reason that I MUCH prefer skill-based sports to muscle-base ones. Ok so the bottom line here is that I will NEVER be an elite athlete, and I'm WAY more jealous of the female gymnasts than the male weight-lifters.

with love,
