Like guessing a bber's dose, but I would guess anywhere from 50 to 200mg a day.
I feel like EPO would be the best bet for runners over winny.
10-25 mg. at most
the russians made it in 3mg doses i think.
look up the duchess cocktail. didnt have winny but did have tren....
real athletes dont use the amounts fake athlete bodybuilders use cuz they want performance, not useless mass.
I remember watching some video years ago where a well know black female sprinter mentioned using one diananol a day when she was training hard. I could see a sprinter using a very low dose of winny as well.
Also, back in the day they knew a little less about side effects. Random ideas got thrown around without scientific backing. Somehow winny got the rep for being used by sprinters and the thought just stuck. Truly track athletes could use just about any AAS and benefit.
Charlie Francis had his athletes using Dianabol, Winny, and Anavar in the 80's (it's in his book). Remember, this was in Canada and things were a bit more hush hush in the track & field community. It was the dirty little secret and little old Canada was not supposed to be able to compete with the big boys, so there wasn't playbook for drug use just yet as it relates to track & field (no internet).
I could be wrong but I would be doubtful that track athletes use winny much nowadays. Grigory Rodchenkov in Icarus also says that he used Winstrol as teen competing in track so it was probably used in track up that point. Probably at some point in the 90's when drug use became more sophisticated did Winstrol get dropped for more suitable drugs for this type of athlete.
If anyone can get ahold of Charlie Francis's book i highly suggest it. Great read! Also interesting is that while Ben Johnson (one of Charlie's athletes) popped for Winstrol, he was supposed to be getting Furazabol and while Ben admits to using he claims that someone tampered with his sample (switched it out for something else, maybe one of Carl Lewis's guys).

I wasn't saying he never used it but for that Olympics after he got caught Charlie Francis admitted that Ben was using steroids but he was using Furazabol and yet he popped for Winstrol. So if he's admitting to using them why would he then lie about which drug he was actually taking? He's already admitting to breaking the rules, right?Later on Ben Johnson admitted to being on winstrol for 7 years.
Winstrol is an adrenal gland stimulant which gives explosive strength off the line for sprinters.
Are you referring to the Netflix documentary, Icarus? If so, that was a very good watch!
