 Remember the case where the snowboarder Ross Rebagliati lost his gold
medal in the Olympics for the fact that they has suspected he had
marijuana in his system? It was alleged that he has smoked a joint with
some friends sometime within 48 hours to the time he competed. He
allegedly explained that he was in the room but did not consume any. It
is scientifically said that you can get it in your system through
external exposure but not to the extent his reading came. There were
also variations is the proven amount in his system. In the end he was
deemed by the NOC to loose his medal, the politically correct thing for
the powers that be to do.

 This is obviously a massive subject; this article is a quick canter through the most important aspects for climbers.
Our bodies are not well set up for rock climbing. We are really
designed to move ourselves using our big and strong lower limbs. So, to
climb well we have to play to our strengths (using technique to
generate force with our feet where possible) and work our weaknesses.
Our big weaknesses are the tiny muscles in our forearms which flex our
fingers and the muscles which stabilise or move our shoulders and arms.
There are many ways to train these muscles to prepare us for our
desired climbs. Which activities you choose must depend on your
individual circumstances.

Myostatin
is a protein that prevents the growth of skeletal muscle. Before birth,
myostatin regulates the final number of muscle fibers. In adults, myostatin
is produced by skeletal muscle, circulates in the blood and acts to
limit muscle fiber growth. Researchers from the University of Rochester
found that blocking the myostatin gene with tamoxifen increased muscle
growth in male and female adult mice by 25 percent in three months.
