Tour de France 2009

Really who gives a shit?

Personally any doping does not make you a great athlete .... hard work and effort does and the doping "helps". That is why I don't really give a fucking monkeys about it. You don't dope and suddenly become amazing ... that is just a fucking myth.

Just read "muscle" by John Hotton and you will see why this doping stuff isn't even worth worrying about, because a little doping helps with loads of training and a lots doesn't work without the right training.

To a large extent I agree with you.

Ben Johnson's body still ran that time, those various cyclists still climbed those mountains quicker than everyone else, they might have cheated to get their bodies into that condition, but in the end their muscles were still stronger or faster than the others.

I honestly don't care if Armstrong was doped or not, I'd still respect him for what he did.

The problem comes if you accept doping, you legitimise it, and then everyone is suddenly forced to take them, like it or not. That means young sportspeople are forced into making a choice of damaging their bodies or not competing. That's not ok.
