Because the guys with steroids win, and the ones that don't, don't, all other things being equal (which they often are when we're talking about top-level athletes).
It's like Snaking in Mario Kart. It's not as if Snaking is "one way to win" it is THE way to win, unless the snaker is otherwise significantly less skilled than the non-snaker. An athlete who's good enough for the top level in terms of skill will always then be superior when he/she takes steroids. |
But down to genetics he or she will always have an advantage over others anyway, even down to the most basic of things such as someone being born with longer legs than someone else who particpates in the 100 metre sprint.
The Mario Kart example seems like a bad comparison as if both players of equal skill play as Mario then fine, but humans arent built that way and what if people of equal skill played as Mario and Kooper?

One could compare it to playing as an unbalanced character, then. If the winners all play as Funky Kong, Daisy, or Rosalina (hello, Mario Kart Wii), then why wouldn't anyone choose to play as them? Then it degrades the spirit of the game as you have a field of Funky, Daisy, and Rosalina instead of the diversity that's supposed to be there.
