STEROIDS COME TO COMPETITIVE BRIDGE. Nick called my attention to this article on the deadspin website by Dvora Meyers (February 28, 2019). The article reports that: “The World Bridge Federation announced today that Geir Helgemo, the world’s top-ranked bridge player, has been suspended after testing positive for two banned substances: synthetic testosterone and clomifene (a female fertility drug).”
The article adds that in 2015 “the World Anti-Doping Agency found prohibited substances in the systems of bridge players and anglers.”
Nick commented: “Steroid using…card players?”
Wait… “bridge players and anglers”…fishermen are consuming performance enhancing drugs too? WHY?
