- braythwayt 11y agoAnabolic steroids are very useful for distance sports, but in a different way. They speed up recovery from micro-injuries, enabling cheaters to put in more training miles on the bike or running. Famously, Mary Decker Slaney was busted for having an illegal T/E ratio. She disputed it by claiming that contraceptive drugs altered her hormones, but the IAAF upheld her ban.

- jaaames 11y agoCheck out the modafinal subreddit. It's like a 12 hour coffee without the side effects. Improves concentration somewhat like Ritalin although less intense.
