Who is the powerlifter described as having taken steroids to the extent that she looked like a man?

• A. Pierre de Coubertin
• B. Tammy Thompson
• C. Dr. John Ziegler
• D. President's Council on Physical Fitness (1956)

Answer: (B)

The moment this question tests is the historical link between steroid use and gender perceptions in women’s strength sports. Tammy Thompson is the powerlifter who is described as having taken steroids to such an extent that she appeared masculine. Her case is cited in discussions about how performance-enhancing drugs affected women's bodies and how these changes challenged societal ideas about femininity in sports. This context helps explain why she fits the description in the question.

Pierre de Coubertin is associated with founding the modern Olympics and has no connection to a powerlifter or steroid history. Dr. John Ziegler was the physician who popularized certain anabolic steroids in American sports, but he’s a male medical figure, not a female athlete described with masculinized appearance. The President’s Council on Physical Fitness (1956) is a government body, not an individual athlete, so it doesn’t fit the scenario.
