I would suggest a separate thread for this, otherwise we'll derail this one. I'm concerned you think there's a safe regime though, you've obviously never spoken to an endocrinologist.

This^^^
Start a new thread that will be easier for me to ignore please, @RitchieJoe .
I thought this old chestnut was done and dusted years ago.

"Mo Farah’s coach Alberto Salazar often warned his athletes not to touch his bags because he feared contaminating them with his testosterone..."

Surely I'm not the only one who has a picture of him standing naked pointing to his balls and saying "Do not, whatever you do, touch these globes of virility"

Ooh, anabolic spheroids!

No suprise he's came out and pretty much denied everything, I'm in total shock...

Salazar responding to allegations that were not even made, denying some that were made and confirming (but it's ok...) others:

No further questions, m'lud.

I'm including this article here because there isn't a better thread for it and it mentions doping in it's specualtion which is primarily what it would take to run a sub 2hr marathon and if it is even possible. Turns out someone has calculated that it is physiologically possible for the perfect athlete. It's a long article but well worth a read, especially for the light it shines on Kenyan runners and what running means to them and their villages in economic terms.

The net may be closing on Salazar if there's anything in these allegations supposedly coming forward.

The denials and attacks on those making the allegations, it all sounds very familiar.
