Children of doping athletes deformed

THEY are the 69 children of a small part of the drugged generation of sporting stars. But instead of inheriting their parent's athletic ability, the children have been shown to have serious medical issues at rates much higher than that of the general population. Seven have physical deformities and four are mentally handicapped.
Frightening damage from East Germany's systematic doping of two decades of elite and promising sports stars in the 1970s and '80s has emerged in the next generation, according to the German researcher Giselher Spitzer.
A recently published two-year study of 52 Olympic and elite-level former East German athletes, now aged between 40 and 60, conducted by the Germany University, Humboldt, has revealed shocking medical consequences of the forced consumption of anabolic steroids.
Dr Spitzer said in addition to the high rate of physical and mental handicaps in the offspring of the 52 athletes, more than a quarter of the children have allergies and 23 per cent have asthma.
He said the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth in the athletes was a staggering 32 times higher than in the normal German population.
Dr Spitzer told the Play the Game conference in Iceland that the doped athletes, all of whom didn't know the "vitamins" they were forced to take on a daily basis were anabolic steroids, continued to be plagued with serious medical consequences.
He said 38 per cent had severe depression with suicidal tendencies and 32 of the 52 had had therapy for psychiatric issues. Dr Spitzer said the study revealed a quarter of those studied had suffered some form of cancer.
One of the former athletes, the cyclist Uwe Tromer, was part of the study and told German reporters "the retirement age I will no longer reach". He suffered a d****itating stroke a year ago.
Wiem wiem, że tu się koksuje "rozsądnie" bo się bierze clomid po cyklu i sylimarol a tam to była przesada itd. itd. ale niech się niektórzy zastanowią komu robią tak naprawdę krzywdę przez doping i nie chodzi tu o to, że mają spłodzić dzieci z trzemą rączkami ale o to, że przez to, że teraz chcieli przykozaczyć to potem za kilkanaście lat kiedy dziecko będzie potrzebowało ojca mogą mu np. wyskoczyć problemy z sercem kilka lat wcześniej albo przyśpieszyć rozwój innych chorób... Lub też jednak dziecku to co normalnie by się nie zrobiło się jednak zrobi...
