My article was removed after a complaint from the Press Office of Olympic Games Committee, by Mrs D. B. (former athlete) recently promoted in the world of 'international relations'. This young woman, without any ground or explanation 'strongly demanded' under her public professional position, to 'boycott' my article, which you will find entirely bellow and check, please, what is offensive about it knowning how discussed and mediatized the issue was and still is.

Soon, I will be writing an article mentioning other articles and statements made regarding the 'stereoids' issue and the world of 'elite athletes'... So much was said and written. What is happening to me is pure hypocrisy !

That young woman sent the short, aggressive and imposing complaint and request :

'This information is false and against our ethics and rules of Olympic Games Committee. Please remove this hoax. Wrong and going too far. Best regards'

Signed by Mrs D.B.

I would like normal people as much as journalists to consider how strong is the demand. It is not the first time I get attacked and usually a lot more in an insulting way. But the result is the same, I get immediately 'sanctioned'. Always, it comes from representatives of big organisations or companies claiming defending values, ethics, professionalism....

All the nice terms western people want to hear. Under the 'Charlie's spirit', everyday journalists in the western world, as myself face pressure, submission and inquisition. when reading an article, people should read first the name, fonction and check other articles written by that person, to have an idea whom they are dealing with. To be journalist is not a decoration. Many writers are just PR and repeat carefully officials speeches and press releases.

I only demand to get a detailed accusation with facts and examples, which was never the case in my long experience and this time it is the latest example of someone using professional status to demand firmly and without any alternative.

So, I let people judging the below article.

THE ARTICLE IN QUESTION :

Doping is the use of prohibited substances or methods to improve athletic performance. Amazingly, world-class athletes are merely the fine layer of frost atop the iceberg when it comes to the stereoid economy, people like being good at sport. Pick up any muscle magazine and you will get a sense of the target market. Some supplements may actually be designer stereoids. It remains unclear what's in these sorts of products. Supplement makers want their product to work, and the industry is lightly regulated, so stereoids have been known up in over-the-counter products.

The content is tailored for men who want to be stronger, feel more energetic and better about themselves as well as turn the heads of women and men. That is a far larger portion of the male population than the number of athletes dreaming of Olympic medal. It is a market segment that is destinated to grow as the Baby Boomers age. There is loads of money to be made, legal risks are minimal and there is no shortage of people who want to look like the statueque models they see in the magazines.

On September 1, 2015, the DEA in U.S. Announced a nationwide series of enforcement actions targeting every level of the global underground trade of anabolic stereoids and other performance-enhancing drugs, the vast majority of which are manufactured and trafficked from underground labs in China.... There is great danger in buying stereoids, chemicals, and other illicit products on the Internet. Many companies operating illegally both in the United States, China and elsewhere have no regard for product safety and mislabeling is common, both intentional and unintentional. Products are often misrepresented, and their safety is not at all garanteed. (DEA)
