Are a Popular Doping Drug's Effects All in the Mind?

Many athletes credit drugs with improving their performance, but some of them may want to thank their brain instead. Mounting evidence suggests that the boost from human growth hormone (HGH), an increasingly popular doping drug, might be caused by the placebo effect.
In a new double-blind trial funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency, in which neither researchers nor participants knew who was receiving HGH and who was taking a placebo, the researchers asked participants to guess whether or not they were on the real drug

The fastest man on no legs has been un-disqualified from the Olympics. Oscar Pistorius, who runs on two prosthetic feet called Cheetahs, had been barred from inclusion in the Olympics because a team of scientists hired by the International Association of Athletics Federations ruled that his prostheses gave him an unfair advantage. A new study, performed at Mr. Pistorius's request, shows otherwise.
This article, unlike some of the more human-interest ones I've read, really delves into the studies themselves, how they were performed and what may have been wrong with them
Runner's high proved non-mythical via PET scan
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 1 week (www.nytimes.com)
Sit up, couch potatoes: the runner's high is real. Proving the yea or nea of the marathoner's mescalin has been difficult because, as one researcher put it, it's not such a good idea to give someone a spinal tap and then send 'em right off to run a 10K. Recently, someone came up with the bright idea of using PET scans (they copied off the dudes doing pain research).
This article is interesting more for the way in which the researchers applied existing technology to solve a problem than for the subject they're studying
Human growth hormone does not help athletes
Sue Wu submitted, created time 9 months 2 weeks (www.dbtechno.com)
The media, along with fans, has always seen human growth hormone, or HGH, as a tool professional athletes use to cheat and gain an unfair advantage. A new study has shown though, that HGH does not improve athletic performance in any way.

Boost endurance? Could it be another kind of analeptic drug? We don't know how much further could this research go.

Bans on drug enhancement in sport may go the way of earlier
pyrazol submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.nature.com)
It is inevitable that all sports will become drug enhanced as the majority of normal people become more enhanced by technological and pharmacological progress. If we want to see humans pushing the limits then why not allow any biological enhancement?

There is increased recognition that determinants of health should be investigated in a life-course perspective. Retirement is a major transition in the life course and offers opportunities for changes in physical activity that may improve health in the aging population. The authors examined the effect of retirement on changes in physical activity in the GLOBE Study, a prospective cohort study known by the Dutch acronym for "Health and Living Conditions of the Population of Eindhoven and surroundings
Penalty kicks are all in the mind
Hunter9 submitted, created time 1 year 11 months (www.nature.com)
On a summer evening last year, more than a billion pairs of eyes were fixed on footballer David Tr¨|z¨|guetas he stepped up to take his penalty for France in the shootout against Italy to decide the world championship. A supremely talented goal-scorer, he inexplicably crashed his kick against the crossbar. France lost.
Fast-forward sixmonths, and psychologists say they have explained why: the pressure got to him
