The Olympics have the toughest testing policy, but The Olympics are a complete joke. Now the biggest stories are not "who won?" but "who got busted?" and "who should have gotten busted, but didn't?" and "who will get busted for winning this event we just watched sometime in the future, and have their medals taken away?"
It's silly. People take drugs all the time. Even normal people take drugs to work (caffeine, etc.), relieve stress (pills of all kinds, booze, etc.), get a boner (Viagra, etc.), pay attention (ritalin), not kill themselves (antidepressants), not act totally crazy and frighten the children (stelazine, etc.), to say nothing of the hundreds and thousands of things taken to prevent, reduce, or cure diseases of all sorts.
Athletes should be able to take things to improve their performance. Just like they're allowed to practice, and be coached, and workout.
It's hypocritical of society to think athletes are in a special class where they are beyond the help of modern medicine and science. We don't make them run track in high heels and overalls, right?
We don't make the swimmers carry anchors?Why persist with this myth that we're going to catch the people that are cheating the current "system."
