If IOC have such a damn problem with drugs they should turn the Olympics into a table tennis tournament and I dunno maybe add some other lame sport like ballroom dancing.
But then again, ballroom dancers could be on diet pills, "their cheats!", ban them too IOC!
There is so much bullshit it makes me sick. I could rant all day. We have been accustomed to "chemichally enhanced" sport for over 40 years. Problem is, most people just don't know it. World Records set "chemically enhanced", we expect to see these records broken and expect better, greater, more amazing sporting feats yet scold anyone who acheives this as a cheat. It's hypocritical!
Seoul Olympics 1988, 100m Final, we all know what happened to Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson the evil villian. Carl Lewis gets the gold handed down to him. He bitches and moans about drugs in sports. Intersting fact is that all 8 in that particular final have failed drug tests later in their careers. Places 1 through to 7 failed due to steroids, last place guy for Valium(hardly performance enhancing but he got suspended!) Yes, Carl Lewis has tested positive for the same drug as Johnson, Stanozolol. What a hypocrite. So who really won that race......hmmmmm?
End of the day the best athlete still wins.
