I'm not saying the presence of performance enhancers should ruin your whole appreciation of the sport or even a particular fight or athlete as it may be, but it does kind of defeat the purpose and reduce the user's credentials as an athlete.Comment

But isn't the whole point of sport to entertain via the specticle of competition, i.e. finding out who is the best - not who has the best nutritionist.

Think about writers or creative people in general who depend on an expansion of consciousness to produce great works of art that would've otherwise not been possible without the expansion of the mind.
Are we to ban Hemingway from drinking Scotch or coffee because it gives him an unfair writing advantage?
I think not.
The thing to do is allow people do to what they want w/ their bodies.
In the end, pure skill and natural talent will prevail anyway and w/ the expansive power of PED's it will take the sport to another level.
Instead of Vazquez/Marquez for 12 rounds, the athletes of the future will go for 30 rounds non stop.
Imagine the possibilities.Comment

History will show us that great things are done cause somebody was in an influence of some drug, but the ones that are not on it and achieve the same are more highly praised and appreciatedLast edited by STREET CLEANER; 03-19-2010, 02:02 PM.Comment
