Are teenage elite weightlifters on steroids?

[ViKtoricus]

I think all elite weightlifters in the olympic level dope. I mean... seriously, heavyweights who clean+jerk 500+ pounds??

But I was wondering... One time I was hanging around in some website and they showed a footage of some 14-year old chinese boy who cleaned and jerked more than 300 pounds. He probably was weighing 150 pounds, I estimate.

Is that kind of strength achievable through the reliance of puberty testosterone ? Or do you need roids to achieve that? He was only 14 and I'm curious if his coaches have let him dope already.

I would think it was achievable and would hope a 14 yearold wasn't jackn test.
