I couldn't give the smallest shit about competitive cycling but it keeps coming up as the headline on my sports app.

This doctor guy was prescribing performance enhancing drugs to his team and they won a lot of things. Shock!! Horror!! Everyone is surprised that the winning team was the one with the best drugs!!!

I don't get it. I thought after Armstrong we just accepted that everyone in cycling was doped up to the eyeballs and that was the norm?

Can't we have two different categories of sport? One dry, and one where the competitors are constantly full of steroids and stimulants?

@Longpatrol exactly! Have a UFC match where one guy jumps fully over the top of the other and starts crawling up the side of the cage.

@Longpatrol I want to see how much steroids can give an additional advantage to training and natural talent and if someone wants to subject their body to it in the name of sport as long as all are informed and consent is given I think it’s a personal choice. But unless it’s a complicit program and all competitors can agree I say let’s have an unlimited class or Top Fuel Red Label Red Bull and so on. The problem with this is something that I am only now becoming aware of in a broader sense and with a more mature perspective than I had 25-30 years ago is that you have to think about who’s watching and who’s influenced. I’m not saying that you don’t have the freedom to live the way you want to but I think it’s an honor for an athlete to have the public’s eye and interest and it’s not always easy or fun or stylish to be responsible but it’s vital if we want to make each generation better by not having to learn things the hard way. Idk just my opinion.
