Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

I'd love to dope.

Quite seriously.

If medical science has solutions to help maintain a physical performance above the norm then I want them.

If it can improve hearing then I'd love to do it and go to a classical concert. If it can improve sight then I want it and will then tour galleries and go see the world. If it can improve mental ability, then fantastic for sometimes I'm a dunce.

In many ways I'm pro-doping. In pro-sports it is the deceit that bugs me more than the doping itself.

Just throwing that out there.

Better living through chemistry

I think it's human nature to want to make things easier/faster/tastier. Pro-sports are often quite luddite in comparison i.e. F1 cars having no turbos, no ABS, no traction control. Chuck a load of tech into a F1 car and I could probably drive it faster than Vettel. Much like NJS, which are forever frozen in skinny-tubed splendour, or indeed the bikes for the pro-tour, which have a minimum weight. Or indeed the Boardman Lotus bike, which was blatebntly faster but subsequently banned.

When technological innovations are first introduced they offer a clear advantage to the innovators, in bike look at Lemand and his teardrop helmet and tri-bars, and clipless over clips and straps. A few sneak through, others get stomped on in the spirit of 'fair play' and a 'level-playing field'. Witness the French whinging about our magic wheels
