Time-to-Run began the development of this section due to
the massive THG scandal that erupted after the 2003 World
Championships in Paris. The first intention was to provide
an article regarding the speculation of this 'scandal' and
then to build on the planned providing of information for
athletes and sportspersons to become more familiar of which
substances are on the banned list.
Ultimately, this section is not intending on becoming 'bogged'
down with the pointing of fingers or becoming entangled in
who we think is 'juiced' and who is not. We shall provide
facts and information in a manner that will further enhance
the athlete or sportsperson's participation in the sport or
their 'career', if they are at such a level.
