@wtf: "This wasn't shot from far enough away."

How far away would be enough? Gibson would've had to have been standing on the moon.

Oh. "An Indian runner who won a silver medal in the women's 800 meters at the Asian Games failed a gender test and was stripped of the medal. An Indian athletics official ... said the test revealed more Y chromosomes than allowed."

women's cycling tends to get away with more doping until they start winning national & international events.so i've seen & raced with several that look manly, i've even mistaken some at first glance, but this... this....beast, is hideous. astounding the balls some have to become superior.

Tom McVay, a doping-control officer for the United States Anti-Doping Agency went to test Tammy Thomas in March 2002, in Chula Vista, California. She answered the door with shaving cream plastered down the left side of her face, evidently shaving excess facial hair.
She was later found positive for illegal substances (steroids) and banned from competition. She also had chest hair, male-pattern baldness, a deep voice and a gain of sixty pounds - but maintains she had "no idea" she was being given steroids.

I look at the picture and immediately think of the quote the great John Belushi as Bluto Blutarsky in National Lampoon's Animal House said so eloquently:

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!!!"

Oh . . . My . . . God . . . . Not Human!

You talk about a Living Dead Girl???!!!!

One look at her/him and all I can think of is Austin Powers:
"IT'S A MAN, BABY!!!"
