Found this article about using strychnine to dope.

Along with the latest ways I wonder what other weird and wonderful lengths athletes have gone to.

Gold - using a car in a marathon
Silver - having able bodies people to perform in para Olympics
Bronze - rigging the electronic scoring in fencing

Vary ballsy.

GEOFF THOMPSON: Like Lance Armstrong, Dean Jones never once tested positive. He says knowing how long drugs stay in your system is the key to doping success.

DEAN JONES: So most drugs had, oh you had to go off 24 hours beforehand, or you could take that on the day, but you know only take this much, or you know you had to be off this two weeks before an event a-and things like that. And even in a random drug test case you had a 24 hour period to do a random drug test back in the '90s. So you could sort of escape for that period and then sort of flush your system out with high doses of intravenous vitamin C and thing - and lots of other things and um, and be clear for, for the test.

That's an interesting find... possibly could have gone under substances??

when Leon Van Bon won the Philly Pro (cycling) and the USADA chaperon wanted the test he pees in his knicks in the showers.

like mick fanning in the steamsuit, but for drugtesting

My personal favourite was the wizzinator, for the name alone.

This web page is interesting. The whizzinator gets a run at 19a but the first mentioned.


What are the 19 known methods of cheating to pass performance enhancing drug tests?

Urine replacement [19.a]. It sounds simple, and in principle is, but getting it done can be just a little awkward... it involves exchanging an athletes urine, which he knows is dirty, and replacing it with clean urine. The clean sample is often purchased from a teammate, a neighbor, even over the internet. The Original Whizzinator [see picture] is among several kits available... that includes two vials of a clean sample, a holding bag, temperature control measures, and... a five-inch, lifelike prosthetic penis... in three colors: Black, flesh, and latino...



But I personally am intrigued by no.15 and if its the reason why players getting inked up have become such a big deal.

What are the 19 known methods of cheating to pass performance enhancing drug tests?

Sky News, the UK's first 24-hour news channel, stated the following in an Aug. 7, 2008 article titled "Olympic Cheats Use 'Drug Tattoos," posted on its website:

"Olympic cheats are taking performance-enhancing drugs via tattoos [15]in an effort to win gold... Inserting drugs through tattoo needles increases the effect of drugs, meaning athletes can take smaller doses and 'fly under the radar' in dope tests.​

​

Research in Germany has shown that delivering DNA vaccines via tattoo was 16 times more effective than injecting through the muscles or veins as the vibrating tattoo needle prepares the body's immune system and increases the body's response to the drug...​

​

Former Australian Institute of Sport researcher Robin Parisotto said... 'With some of these things the technology is so new, the concept so bizarre, that there would only be a handful of well tapped-in athletes using it - but they will be experimenting at the Beijing Olympics because it is the ultimate. The problem is that some of the drugs would now fly under the radar with the tattoo technique because athletes would be taking a much smaller dose.'​

​

Cheating athletes are also combining the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra with doses of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Both drugs increase the flow of oxygen in the blood stream and therefore boost sporting performance."​
