This is all a somewhat less important discussion, when you consider that female athletes are going to eclipse male athletes very soon in a number of traditionally male-dominated sports, swimming is going to be the first. But, in other, more endurance oriented sports, like the Marathon, the margin between the uber-elite athletes of the 2 sexes has been narrow for a long time. One must wonder what is happening to women, then, that they should be gaining on us so... Roids?
