We're going for gold on this week's Olympian Naked Scientists, by discovering the sporty science of performance enhancement. We find out how drugs can help boost an athlete's performance, and how the testing labs are hot on their heels! We also explore how altitude training and hi-tech trainers can power athletes past their personal bests. Plus, a stem cell cure for muscular dystrophy, flies with flu and how a rubber Anaconda could generate energy from waves. And in Kitchen Science, we find out how to get the biggest bounce from two balls!

Has there EVER been a drug-free olympics? Since pre-history people have been using substances since they could walk let alone run!

That was going to be my question, I suppose the answer is "NO" then.

I think it gets really hard to answer, because what do you call a drug?

Is it possible to work backwards? Does anyone know the last Olympics when someone was not caught using performance enhancing drugs?
