In all of Lance Armstrong's Tour de France victories at least the top four riders behind him have been linked to doping. Yes, I do call out hypocrisy here.

Just thought I would recommend the documentary ,"Bigger Stronger Faster," to all those that might wonder about what really happens in with steroids in the USA and how commonly it is used in all sports. It made me agree with the film makers final point that perhaps that when everyone is doing it you cannot fault those that do it. If anything I say it is the fault of those that do not dope and do not win. The film used to be on Netflix, but unfortunately I cannot find it now.

 

yeah but doping is unhealthy and works very different from person to person and i hope we will never come to the point to say people officially "if you want be good in sports, dope!"

you have to do it if you want to win because others also do it but i still hope they all get punished hard if they get catched, it's their problem then, they didn't have to be a sportman, they could have still done something else. no reason to complain for them if they get catched.

The bad thing about it is it so easy to get steroids. You can buy steroids legally off the internet in US and I would assume it is pretty easy to get in other countries. I never would say people should say if you want to be good at sports use performance enhancing drugs, but I do think that many trainers and coachers have a strong no doping policy in public, while in private they secretly give out performance enhancing drugs all the time. The idea that you need to dope to be the best is already around in many sports it just hidden to the public for obvious reasons. I just wish it could be brought to light more so people see that it is a reality that cannot be stopped.
