BREAKING NEWS!
Dutch discus thrower Ria Stalman has admitted to using anabolic steroids during the later portion of her career. Stalman won the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 and retired shortly after.
Stalman announced the disturbing truth on a Dutch Television program broadcast Friday night.
Ria proclaimed “in the last two and a half years of my career I took a small daily dose of anabolic steroids.”
Stalman beat American thrower Leslie Deniz at the olympics with a throw of 65.36 metres.
Stalman said she decided to begin doping after seeing ‘bulky’ Eastern throwers exceed the distances that she was capable of throwing. She says her logic behind the decision was “If you can’t beat them, join them; and that’s what I did.”
