I guess once the pregnancy is terminated maybe the negative effects subside but you still have the benefits of additional hemoglobin?

All the girls that I know that have had miscarriages or abortions have been completely worthless balls of grief and tears for six months. Hard to imagine anyone emotionally pumped up for athletics after an abortion.

We aren't talking about normal women though, we are talking about Olympic athletes. Their discipline and drive on the next level. But yeah I would say if it is done it would only be possible for a very small percentage of athletes. Or maybe it's pure urban legend started by crazy pro-lifers. Just with other extreme methods athletes have taken to win nothing would surprise me.
