Do some female Olympic gymnasts get shots to delay puberty to help them compete better?

This has been a claim put forth by some in Olympic circles. However, the administration of such hormonal treatments (or more properly anti-hormonal treatments) would mean gymnasts could risk being declared ineligible.
Intensive physical training can itself affect normal maturation, as well as contributing to hormonal imbalances that can result in such conditions as osteoporosis.
