Is it possible this Rene Wenzel, is the same Rene Wenzel who is a defendent in this lawsuit about doping? These guys contend Rene doped them when they were racing on the junior national team back in the early 90's. Long story short, they say the effect of the drugs made them susceptible to illness and masked the symptoms of those illnesses making something otherwise benign to become serious or chronic. In defense, the plaintiffs basically say "it's too late to bust us" (statute of limitations), and "you can't prove it was the reason you got sick". The plaintiffs don't dispute that they administered drugs and that makes them guilty in my book.

Dopers suck. Coaches who dope kids suck big time. These guys are pond scum. Also note, Chris Carmichael was involved in this and settled out of court. More smoking gun evidence against The Boss.

Call to action: I see a lot of teams with Wenzel.com Coaching as a sponsor. Those teams should drop Wenzel like a hot rock. Don't support drug dealers.

Athletes who dope are in many regards the victims who suffer the most. They are the ones who suffer the negative health effects, including death, which may not be worth the financial reward and hero worship they strive to achieve. When the system allows doping to exist, then it becomes required to compete. It is imperitive for the governing bodies to completely remove doping so the athletes can compete clean and fair and are not forced to make the deal with the devil.

It's difficult for me to be upset with a professional doper if they're competing in sport where doping is already rampant and standard. Take Barry Bonds; He was the best player in baseball before he started doping. Across the Bay you had the A's with a murderous row including McGuire, Canseco who doped. The A's whooped on the Giros in the '89 World Series, so Barry had at least a little exposure to those guys. I don't think Canseco, or any dopers, could carry Barry's jock strap let alone compete with him cleanly. If Barry wanted in on the home run race, he had to get on the juice. To have a witchhunt against Barry now is unfair when the entire system is rotten. So yes, Barry is my favorite doper.
