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.

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.
