ohio state reciever

[km2000]

what do you guys think about this? any one know if this is allowed in the IOC testing of olympic athletes? I dont see anything wrong with it, it seems this kid take his sport very serious. personally if you are taliking about million dollar contracts in the nfl I think it is a smart way to get an edge. I pulled this off the espn website.



How far will a player go for an edge? Ohio State junior receiver Anthony Gonzalez might be taking it to an extreme by sleeping and studying in an altitude tent, a 6-by-6-by-8-foot plastic chamber that is placed over his bed. An attached device then draws air from the tent, removes a percentage of oxygen and pumps rarefied air back into the tent. This creates an atmosphere that is similar to living at an altitude of 8,000 feet. The idea is to increase Gonzalez's number of red blood cells, which carry oxygen through the body, and improve his endurance. Gonzalez spent $5,000 on the system last summer. Now is this cheating? The World-Anti Doping Agency is considering adding the tents to its 2007 prohibited list. That could result in the NCAA also banning the tents.

wow that is ridiculous, as a former d1 NCAA athlete... I say fuck the NCAA

jerkoffs....

So what substance did he introduce into his body?...none. I guess next they will have to ban athletes from living and training in Denver or any other higher altitude city...dumbasses.

I don't understand

What is the big deal with "performance enhancement" ?
isn't that a good thing?

Now I understand if they are saying certain substances are dangerous to you health and that is why they ban them. Although I think they are wrong about that anyway.

But why is it evertime a substance comes along, even creatine; They want to ban it because it is "performance enhancing".

Now they are banning sleeping tents????


why not ban weight training all together and ban practicing? Will this not help enhance the players performance?

how is this any different than taking anadrol or epo to increase RBC count? not everyone can afford to buy a tent.

 

[Got Juice]

protein should also be banned, of course, only to make the playing filed level..

 

[joedokes]

That's it, no more athletes from Colorado.

 

[Kahn]

I'm the polar opposite. I say let them all juice and see what the body can do. Uncorked Olympics, that would be awesome. Everybody would look like Ricky Bell(I'm that old).

College Gameday did a story on this earlier this year--might have been when OSU was playing Iowa. In any case, the talk of banning is pretty funny. Wonder what's next?

Who cares what he's doing. The league offers the use of similair hyperberic (sp) chambers for healing. T.O. used one when he healed so quickly from the broken ankle for the eagles. I don't see how anyone in there right mind could consider something like that cheating. Just plain DUMB.

this is not a SUBSTANCE bro, thats how its different, this is the same thing cyclist do to increase their hematicrit for the tour de france, its the same thing as going to denver to train and then playing or racing in l.a. (sealevel) I see nothing wrong with this at all. this kid takes his shit seriously, instead of going out and partying he is sleepin in his tent to perform better!

SEX IN TENTS...

The problem with that is .....condensation builds up on the walls and roof of the tent and this condenstation begins to 'rain' down upon you. Depending on your mental state...this could piss you off....and this in turn might affect your...um....performance!

DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THAT! LOL

 

[Jwillbc55]

They should suspend the players for practicing...it gives them an unfair advantage over the lazier players

yes I agree, this high tech performance enhancing practice schedule would result in some players being able to perform better than others,depending on the amount of pratice participated in. lol

sex in the rain

this raining effect produced by the condensation may increase the arousal of both partners, resulting in the o so sought after fantisy effect of "sex in the rain", actually increasing performance, but may lead to premature ejaculation!
hahahahaha! lol!
