My Olympic Report
Drug Testing Did you know that they actually do drug testing at the Olympic Games? Well - guess what it? It is true! The scientists started drug testing at the Olympics in 1968. This was caused by the fact that in 1904 a man died from taking too many steroids! I'm sure that you're thinking they tested ALL of the athletes for drugs - well, if you did, you're wrong, because they didn't! They would randomly picked half of the athletes to do so.The other thing that happened was that if you got any type of medal you would also get tested for drugs. In ancient times, the athletes would eat specially prepared lizard meat to enhance their athletic performance. In this year's Olympics - Nadeya Ostapchuk was the first athlete to be stripped of her gold medal which was then given to Valerie Adams from New Zealand.
