Documentary about the US women's swim team's determination to defeat the doped East German in the last relay race at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interesting not to hear an apology from a single interviewed member of the E. German team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFsC5gcM5qI …

Another interesting doc. on E. German doping scandal, the full scope of which was only revealed when Berlin Wall fell in 1989. Also features former shot-putter Andreas (nee Heidi) Kreiger, who suffered lifelong medical damage from doping with testosterone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs6-vhBj2pE …

Several of the doped women athletes suffered permanent skeletal/joint damage. One MD interviewed discussed impact of testosterone-fueled body building on female bone structure. Recently, at least one WPATH MD has mentioned this problem with FTMs. See here:https://4thwavenow.com/2017/08/18/thoracic-outlet-syndrome-deteriorating-verbal-fluency-not-on-your-typical-informed-consent-form/ …

Interestingly, WPATH appears to have removed that thread from the FB page. Wonder why? Luckily, the Internet is forever, so we have the screen cap. How many FTMs are told that their "estrogen-based" skeletons might not be able to easily handle "testosterone-based" body-building?pic.twitter.com/m6mkF6Ws1l

Right. But Babashoff (who was and still is the least nice about this whole thing) thinks they should still graciously give up their medals and acknowledge they aren't rightfully theirs--because it's the right thing to do.
