Humans have been eating things, drinking things, and more recently injecting things to help them perform at a higher standard since time began so why do we insist on banning certain drugs that will help athletes/sports people perform better.
Where did this all start, the drugs in sport thing?
I bet you that 50 years ago had these so called performance enhancing drugs been available then they would have taken them and had no problem and we wouldn't have the mess we have now.
I actually admire the East German and Soviet athletes of the 70's and early 80's ( Jarmila Kratochvilova excepted, surely a bloke.) and think the whole drug thing started because the West was loosing regularly to the East. Therefore the drugs in sport thing is a hangover from the cold war, the fact of the matter is the East was doing it better than the west and as the west had the adminstrative might decided to ban the drugs.
What is this issue here? since time began humans have been trying to run faster, jump higher, throw further.
Isn't the Olympic motto faster,higher, stronger and whatever means the athletes have used to get there is their business.
It really gets to me that we have to go through this rubbish every time the Olympics comes round.
In my view, just let them all get on with it and you solve the problem instantly and save huge amounts of money.
In 1988 Ben Johnson had a couple of tablets now and again to help him train and and recover, the guy has been vilified as a cheat for 20 years, isn't it time that we faced facts that his win at the Seoul Olympics was one of the great runs of all time.
I have a bigger problem with the South African guy running with artificial limbs as these are a mechanical enhancement of the human body.
