The Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 is almost over, and no athlete has tested positive thus far. By comparison, at the Beijing Summer Olympics, about a dozen athletes tested positive out of almost 5,000 tests. In Chapter 4 ("Timid Testers / Magic Lassos") of Numbers Rule Your World, I discuss the statistics behind steroid testing, including how to interpret the number of positive cases. This leads to several surprising conclusions, such as why negative tests don't mean much.
I will appear on Ken Broo's sports radio show on 700 WLW on Sunday, 2/28 between 9:30 and 10:30 CST (not the entire show) to chat about drug testing in sports. Tune in if you can!
This is really dissappointing that athletes are showing this kind of behaviour, nothing is natural now.
