Abortion doping?

[The Terminator]

As sick as it may seem, I think the principal purpotraters of this aren't medal-hungry women from the West but statist regimes - historically and maybe today.

These regimes don't think twice about killing millions. Witness the 2 million people the N. Korean regime starved to death in 1998.

You know how medal hungry these sicko dictators are. In western states, achieving a medal is cool for a nation but the respect goes to the individual athlete. In the dictatorships, the medal is a prestige device for the reigning thugs and helps them preserve power.

So you think these guys would think twice about doing this to their athletes if they thought it would help?

I imagine the effect would be similar to EPO - an easy way to find out would be to determine if pregnant women's hemocrit range is higher than the normal range. Or if post-abortive women's hemocrit level got a boost.

A hormone difference? MAybe the sex of the unborn child would be relevant - more test if it's a boy?

So basically the "athletic" benefit acheived is an increase in RBC count (and sheer bllod volume)?

Seems like an AWFULLY high price for an athlete to pay, but as you pointed out the dictator is the one pulling the strings...That is just a REALLY sad thing if that is true

Also, (while we're on the subject) it seems that in certain Asian areas, they are now genetically breeding "super athletes".... damn.

The USA inadvertenly did that back in the days of slavery (with the breeding of the strongest male slaves with the best female slaves), hence pro sports in America today are LARGELY dominated by black athletes...

Part of it was also natural selection - only the healthiest survived the boat ride and only healthy/strong slaves were purchased in Africa.

I can see how it [B]may[/B] work- when pregnant, a woen has up to 35% more blood volume circulating- thus more oxygen carrying cells- and better performance.... pretty f-d up though- lol

This is urban legend myth bullshit. The type of stuff you see in chain emails.

I understand this. However, what I was talking about is actually manipulating the chromosones ei: genetically<-- engineering so the fetus develops into a superior being. Plausible in asia??

I supposed this could be true. Sick, but true. When women are pregnant their blood flow and volume does increase as do their hormones. I hope this isn't going on, but with some countries it really wouldn't suprise me.

Yes this and organ theives, something must me done!

LOL, someone would have to be VERY strong to steal an organ out of a church...Those things are heavy
