The 'grey area' of drug taking in professional sports people has been mentioned a few times tonight on twitter.
This is a drug that wasn't banned until Jan 1st, but is a cardiac/angina treatment. You can bet there's other drugs out there not on the banned list that are being taken because they have benefits to athletes. (That was an awful sentence; hopefully you can make some sense of it.)
I guess my point is twofold - firstly, where is the line in what is doping and what isn't? And secondly... fuck, I forgot the second point. Hmm. I guess one should just expect any top athlete to be permanently on the verge of crossing the WADA line.
