What a good thread. Would you say doping in cycling is on the rise again as teams finds ways to avoid the passport?

Sour Grapes posted:I don't know how "Think of the harm to the athletes!" is even considered a legitimate anti-doping argument, anyone playing competitive sport at a high level is already putting their health and body at a huge risk. Because once you allow it then the prize goes to the person willing to take it to the most dangerous extreme. Can you honestly not see a difference between an athlete injuring themselves while playing their sport, and an athlete injecting so much EPO they'll die of a heart failure if they don't wake up to do some extra exercise in the middle of the night?

Sour Grapes posted:How is that different than guys grinding through the playoffs with broken ribs or a running back taking so many pops during a game that he's seeing stars? A perfect example is Pereira being ostensibly knocked unconscious on the field and refusing to be subbed out, it's not like we don't know the serious implications of seemingly minor concussions but people are still okay with that. They probably shouldn't be allowed to do most of those things, but they're all examples of stuff players try to avoid even if they still happen. It would only be a valid analogy if it was a scenario where a baseball player had to break his ribs in order to be competitive in the playoffs.
