I don't mind the doping so long as there are thorough rounds of tests. Let the dopers self-select themselves out of the sport. As many dopers can *try* to get in as they like, so long as the systems in place prevent them from actually competing.

The stupid thing is the dopers are ignoring the reason drugs are banned. REALLY BAD SIDEEFFECTS. Exhibit a. Andre le Giant = dead.

And so is Florence Griffith.

I'm all for holding a drug olympics. If the knuckleheads that want to throw stimulents inside themselves to "be the best that they can be" I say let them so long as the genuine atheletes aren't disadvantaged by having to compete against them.
Never gonna happen 'cause there'd still be the ***kwits that would try and cheat the honest atheletes and the whole moral thing about it but still... perfect world and all that ;)

side note: I thought the ancient olympics were cancelled due to the christians deeming them paganistic and unchristianlike, not due to corruption and cheating. Could be wrong though, I'm no history buff [img]smile.gif[/img]

By then, the "olympic games" were Roman Gladatorial contests between slaves, not the Hellenic Olympic Games.
