I'm sure many of you have already read about Marion Jones confessing to having used steroids to win her 5 Oly medals in 2000. I understand, however, that the same kind of andro-steroids used by Jones and others, would interfere with things like balance that are essential to success in figure skating, so in this sport (at least), the use of so-called "performance enhancing" drugs is minimized by the lack of motive.
Do you think that TPTB (ISU, Nat federations, etc.) should hype this fact -- sort of advertising that this sport is "unjuiced", and if so, do you think it might help reverse the current lack of interest in the sport?
