I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here. Yes, athletes have to be in the best possible condition which is exactly why the bar shouldn't be raised artificially. If you think there are no negative side effects to these magic potions, good for you. I don't believe it and neither does any credible medical expert, including the FDA. There's definitely a risk of side effects and there's no justification to basically force athletes to risk their health if they want to compete at the top levels.

You talk about abuse. What's to stop an athlete from abusing these drugs and gaining a huge advantage over his competitors? Is it a consolation to his peers who were robbed of the accomplishments and status they were looking to achieve fairly and legally when the abuser dies of a heart attack at 42?
