Considering how easy it is to access performance enhancing drugs, why are they considered 'cheating'?
Surely cheating is when you gain an unfair advantage over someone else, but there is literally nothing stopping your rivals from just taking drugs too and levelling the playing field.
Try not to use 'muh moral code' as a defence.
Based, everyone should dope to reach peak performance, if the Olympics don't feature people at peak performance then what's the point in watching or participating, may as well watch a high school pe class
guess bodies don't react the same way to doping so it would still be unfair. I wouldn't care about doping if doping wasn't actually bad for the body, it is. for now.
Then you'll just get entire sports filled with women who have taken so much dope they look like men, just like the 80's.
That never happened
There's literally no counter argument
Also, where does one draw the line between which supplements are legal and which are illegal? It's completely arbitrary.
>Try not to use 'muh moral code' as a defence.
Make me.
not muh moral code. it's more like 'muh arbitrary line between human and nonhuman'
mankind loves sorting things into categories . bit like autistic children using building blocks
heath and safety
So eating manufactured goods is non human? So athletes are only allowed to consume potatoes they've grown themselves ye? Fuck up with your shit logic
Froome please....
Lawsuits out of the ass from families.
not my logic but the logic of the ioc
they're trying to measure, compare and contrast human performance levels.
if you don't draw the line at doping you certainly draw the line at using construction equipment to lift weights
humans can use tools to enhance performance in the same way that they can consume substances.
it's not so much about where the line is drawn so long as it's drawn consistently
Bullshit Pablo.
sure it didn't
I just want to see someone run the 100m in 8 seconds then their heart explodes out of their chest as they cross the finish line.
Yea but, what's the difference between one athlete eating a healthy diet of say nuts that increase his strength and the other doesn't, that's certainly allowed, so doping should be as well
it'll be weird in the far future when transhumanism gives the audience alien like agility, speed, stamina while the so called athletes have had to abstain
Kek
This is such a good point
Soon, athletes will be below average in terms of speed and power
the line just isn't drawn at the level of diet. that's all.
after that all that matters is that there's no barrier to the other athletes eating healthy .
you could argue that there's disparity at a national level when it comes to number of people who can afford to eat healthy but not for individual contenders
Only peak performance must be celebrated.
No female sports, whatever the products, maybe guidelines to prevent use of blatant toxic products that will kill you in 2 years.
Fuck off, shill. You keep making the same shitty threads and get betfoed each time. Do the world a favour and end it.
The same could be said for punching your opponents in the throat. Everyone could do it, so it can't be cheating. It can't be anything undesirable, either.
Alright fair point, what about having sex right before the competition, is that cheating
you can easily overcome doping control by having a doctor prescribing you special medicine under the guise of medical necessity (most well known example being asthma)
you don't even need to go back to the 80's for that
>muh

Agreed
There should be two new olympic classes:
1) the no-holds-barred PED league
2) a heavily monitored and controlled league where athletes are only allowed to eat food they helped grow.
The 2nd league becomes a combined athletic and agricultural feat, where athletes must work with the climate they have
play at your own risk.
This is literally the first time I've made a post about doping, seek help for your paranoia.
Umm sweety if women want to look like men it's their decision, not yours :)
