A comment on the use of anabolic steroids in women's Olympic swimming : A chronicle of the 100-Meters freestyle

(Kommentar zur Verwendung anaboler Steroide im olympischen Schwimmsport der Frauen: Eine Chronik der 100-m-Freistil)

Focusing on gold medal times in the women's 100-meters freestyle from the 1912 to 1996 Olympics, we compare the effects of anabolic steroids to other innovations. Following a discussion of factors such as changing conceptions of femininity, improved facilities and training methods, and the recruitment of elite athletes, we conclude that anabolic steroids have had a significant but relatively minor impact.
