Taboo to talk about HGH and steroids?

Unread postby ArcadiaPV » Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:48 pm

I've always wondered why I have never seen any discussions on performance enhancing drugs and how it has affected the pole vault? If there is a thread on this discussion I apologize. I've always heard whispers from coaches of past and present elite vaulters who might have used HGH or steroids.

Because the discussions invariably end up into unfounded speculation about athletes who might have done drugs. I don't have the patience to edit every post and I can't afford the liability of having such discussions get out of hand.
