The biggest champions
e biggest champions of the training world are not the drugenhanced
genetically blessed competitive elite. e biggest
champions are the unsung heroes who applied years of dogged
determination in order to build themselves up against the odds,
without ever using drugs, without seeking or finding publicity, and
without divorcing themselves from the rigors and responsibilities
of everyday working and family life. Genetically gifted and drugenhanced
super achievers who have near-perfect training conditions
and lifestyles cannot hold a candle to the real heroes of the
training world.
