Lilith- as for elite athletes being infertile - not likely. Exercise can only interfere with menstrual cycles when it is sustained and excessively intense exercise. Even then, it is usually only temporary, and once the athlete reduces the volume and/or intensity of her training her cycles should return as per normal.

The only cases that I'm aware of where elite athletes became sterile or infertile was with the East German swimming team, where there were reports of miscarriages, infertility, sterility etc among the athletes on dangerous doses of banned steroids.

Just my thoughts - and whilst I am a swimming coach, I'm not gonna put a guarantee of absolute gospel on this
