I've seen this women on TV, and no, they do not appear to be using
steroids. Mastrokova, in particular, is closing in on the first women's
sub-4-minute mile.
All of this is, of course, irrelevant to the topic of women in combat.
It is doubtful that an elite distance runner would have the strength to carry
80 to 100 pounds of gear around all day, every day. The men rarely weigh more
than 140 pounds soaking wet and the women tend to be 110 or less. Aside from
physical strength, there are other reasons why it may be inappropriate to have
women in combat roles, not the least of which are cohesion within a unit and
the very real problem of sexual relationships (and pregnancies).
