No surprises that cycling and athletics are the biggest. Surprised at skiing though, but its a sport I know nothing of so no idea how you can enhance performance.

There is absolutely no chance that graph is correct (I note that there is no legend)

Weightlifting will be one of the biggest, as will swimming.

Thought swimming would be higher, but maybe a lower number of participants (at the top level) than the others?

But yeah, need some labels for the data.

Football and rugby are being masked IMO. In time the truth may come out.

Equestrian? If you need steroids to get over a fence, you've forgotten your horse.

Beginning to come out in Tennis, particularly Spain

Not sure what the graph represents, but assuming its positive tests (absolute)

There is something wrong with that list it must be geographically specific because baseball and American football which both have problems aren't listed.

It's going to be cross country skiing rather than downhill skiing. There was/is a lot of EPO cases- it's a endurance sport like cycling.

Im pretty sure investigations by the Food Standards Agency would have shown anything untoward.

Football and rugby are being masked IMO. In time the truth may come out.

In football they don't even test blood and FIFA are not interested seemingly in changing their stance on this, preferring to still test urine and catch players for Rec Drugs rather than PE ones.

Basically footballers are free to do blood transfusions (a lot of stories from Spain where it is standard practice) and in extreme cases take EPO.

The Fuentes case in Spain allegedly involved blood bags taken from unnamed footballers.
