To keep them young and skinny like Olga Korbet (sp?)and Nadia Comanescu(again, sp?). They stayed tiny for years and years.

No idea.....watching Sky Sports on TV at the moment.

Just a couple of quick thoughts:

I didn't know that they did have delayed puberty.
They certainly don't have delayed growth.

Back to TV now.
