Table Tennis Olympic Doping Scandal Won’t Go Away
Ping-Pong: “The World Anti-Doping Agency is challenging a decision that cleared Olympic table tennis medalist Dimitrij Ovtcharov of doping despite his positive test for clenbuterol.” Ovtcharov claims he ate contaminated meat. The German federation bought it. The kicker: Clenbuterol “burns fat and builds muscle.” But unless he was dabbling in some Barry Bonds cocktails that improve your eyesight, how does this drug help a ping-pong player? [AP]

duder – me too. Whenever the TBL meet up happens, there needs to be a ping pong table in the vicinity.
I’ll warn you – my backhand slice is lethal.

i don’t take anyone’s ping pong game serious until they show up with a personal paddle stored in a case.
i got my ass handed to me by that guy.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:08 PM
interesting i set up my forehand whenever possible. backhand would be my weakness, if i had one

Oh, it’s on. Back before the BCS existed, I was rolling people in the basement after school and won high school tournament. A bit out of shape now, probably need some clenbutrol.

Easy way to improve your ‘shakehand’ grip that has nothing to do with PEDs.

“Balls of Fury”. Now that movie sucked hard. And I usually like shitty movies.

we have that guy in our office. he spent about $50 on a paddle, which is a lot in my book. he can put mad spin on it with that paddle though. I love me some ping pong.

I’m pretty positive Clen doesn’t build muscle.

It was the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Not even remotely funny. Maggie Q is hot though…
December 10th, 2010 at 2:16 PM
but…but…EVERYTING builds muscle and burns fat at the same time*.
*according to muscletech ads**
**despite the fact that building muscle and burning fat at the same time is physically impossible

A lot of juicers use clenbuterol to kick start their testosterone production after a cycle to prevent their nuts from shrinking like raisins.

I think I’d be the favorite in the TBL table tennis tournament. Seriously.
Speaking of table tennis and steroids, Barney Reed, a U.S. top flight table tennis player, was also banned for steroids several years back.

What the fuck is the matter with these people.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:18 PM
Yet the more muscle you have, the more fat your burn.
/the body is confusing
December 10th, 2010 at 2:18 PM
the fuck is wrong with you people?

Foosball > Air Hockey > Ping Pong

We have a few of “that guy” walking around the office. One dude has a sponge that we uses to wipe his paddle with as he is walking towards the ping pong room to do battle.
/Yes we have a ping pong room.
//gotta love tech companies.

Table Tennis? You have to be kidding me. The assholes at WADA have their hand in that one too?
