Doping Olympics..

If performance enhancing drugs were legal to take in the Olympics.. How much quicker/higher/longer do you think we could go? Or are we pretty much at the limit of the human body?

After the fall of the soviet union, detials of their national doping programmes were released. It was possible to increase performance by about 10% with steriods.

It's fair to say that all womens short distance running records were drug assisted. In the 400/800m the times are about a second or two quicker than anyone runs these days.

Same with the womens throws, and the mens shot world record.
