I’m just putting this out there, so don’t go mashugana (or do - that’s what these forums are for).

Do you suspect that Annika took some androgenic compounds, i.e., steroids?

No, I don't think she took any HGH or 'roids. Do I think that golfers take other performance enhancers at times, certainly. I do believe that all professional athletes take substances banned by the International Olympic Comittee. However, if she unretires in three years in better shape than ever, then yes.

Martina Navratalova--yes. Almost every Olympic Champion and NFL football player from the last 20 years, yes.

I do not think she has used anything, but to be fair it's possible, just as it's possible any athlete (golfers included) have at least tried it at some point. I do believe usage of performance enhancing substances have been more widespread in the sporting world than suspected. While we'll probably never know for sure, I think it's probable that at least a few professionals (or wanna-be professionals) have used something at some point in attempt to improve themselves and their performance.

what made you think that? if she was built like Serena Williams and crushing balls 300 yards off the tee, then yes, i would consider it. but she isnt out driving anyone by a long shot that i can see. she's just more accurate and precise than most

Why do some people seem to think just because someone lifts weights that they are on steriods? Anyone can get a body like Annika's on a dedicated regimine of strength exercises.

    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
    • Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
    • Good images from the short AMG video released yesterday.
