OLYMPIC ATHLETES GETTING PREGNANT AND ABORTING
TO BOOST PERFORMANCE

SALT LAKE CITY, February 1, 2002 (LSN.ca) - In the
Feb.4 issue of Report magazine, "Brave New World",
columnist Celeste McGovern writes of a gruesome method
of blood doping used by some female athletes to boost
athletic performance. Since enhancing drugs and even
regular blood doping can be identified by regulators,
the pregnancy-abortion scheme, while officially banned,
is virtually impossible to stop.

Mona Passignano, director of research at the Texas
pro-life group Life Dynamics is quoted by Report
quoting from a Finnish sports medicine expert: "Now
that drug testing is routine, pregnancy is becoming
the favourite way of getting an edge on competition."
One Russian athlete told a reporter that as long ago as
the '70s, gymnasts as young as 14 were ordered to sleep
with their coaches to get pregnant--and then abort. The
procedure is so well known it has made it to the textbooks.
LifeSite found the method described in an online textbook
in physiology by Dr. Poul-Erik Paulev of the Department of
Medical Physiology, University of Copenhagen.

Professor Paulev writes that pregnancy seems to increase
muscle strength in female athletes. "Female top athletes -
just following the time when they gave birth to their
first child - have set several world records. Of course,
this is acceptable as a natural and unintended event.
However, in some countries female athletes have become
pregnant for 2-3 months, in order to improve their
performance just after the abortion."
