| Feb 26, 2018 at 21:00 | comment | added | Andre | for such a minimal advantage it’s pretty stupid to do it. Assuming everyone is checked the same, you’re getting a lot more for your risk if you do it for a more athletic event. I’d actually quite like to see a similar tournament to the Olympics for people who openly take enhancing drugs. It’d be quite interesting to see how far we can push our bodies. | |

My point was that drugs can make you a little bit better at what you do, doesn't matter what. A bit extra brain-muscle coordination and you can throw that stone more precise. But drugs are not magic, but an ace card | |
