Doping in sport: why it can't be stopped

Look at Michael Phelps, when he competed against younger individuals who had everything he would beat them. Let’s not forget about his adderoll use. Top level athletes always have been taking stuff and always will!

Just look at US USADA exceptions list. You will see how many athletes actually are enhanced. The big sports game is corrupt and you are deluded if you believe that WADA and all the rest of organisation makes a difference!

USA, china, Europe and Russia are biggest PED users in the world Africans could be the only competitors using natural takent

It should be openly allowed. Everyone is doing it , so only the richest succeed

Well, the Brits gave a couple of extremely suspicious people in cycling knighthoods.

For me i just remember Ben Johnson being caught cheating in the Olympic 100 metre sprint. That was a big story at the time but how many others have got away with it? Quite a lot i think

Western countries are hypocrites, including UK, USA, Germany, etc. Blame Russia, it is easiest so the West can wash its face.

I love the competition. IDC if an arhlete is doping. Not . Really

Doping is a business....of course it cant be stopped....

I really don't have a problem with elite athletes doping. You eat, sleep, train and live to achieve top performance. At some point you have to take boosters to achieve the results where training can no longer take you to a higher level.
It should be public knowledge though.

The problem is it is so hard for you get caught if you know what you are doing

If they really wanted to stop doping they wouldn't let such a large percentage of US athletes claim to have ADHD

Thanks 💐

There is a LOT of money in the Olympics so yeah there is little reason the IOC wants to turn their sport their money maker into a non credible business that might lose millions in sponsorships.

The latest Olympic gold medalist in the 100m sprint wasn't even tested so there are problems beyond just catching them cheating because it is pretty tough to catch someone if you don't even test them.

50 years later and it's worse than ever.
Give it up, and stop handicapping the clean athletes.

When inhalers for athletes with asthma became a legally approved aid for athletes when training or racing, 50% of the Norwegian cross country ski team became asthmatic. So did Chris Froome of Tour de Fame fame. When testing improved in the 90s, all the new Chinese competitors with recent gold medals disappeared. Micro-dosing was developed and then new super humans emerged.
Since the development of amphetamines in the 30s to make German soldiers go days without sleep, doping has become a necessary tool to with a gold. Most countries protect their athletes including the U.S., from getting caught. And with some scientific research, there is a lot that can be used to improve performances that is not on the black list at IOC, but trying to catch even the biggest cheaters, is a race against time, and one that we most likely will not win.

There's a bigger incentive to use/produce PED's than there is to catch them simple as

I know for a fact that Paula Radcliffe cheated. My idiot cousin Bryn sold her and her boyfriend/coach the gear

Gets abused even more in the paralympics as usada and wada etc.. are terrified of insulting disabled people. We are just as capable of abusing steroids as abled bodied people thank you.

We should allow our athletes to dope and take any kind of steroids to see how far a humans body can be push.

Because we are lazily smart. If we can take shortcuts we will take them.

No matter what every 99.9% athelete dope even if it's usa or Russia it doesn't change 😶😶

It can't be stopped cause there is no shame in doping and the punishment isn't really harsh enough.

We should just have a category called “doping category,” and let’s see what is the true limit of human achievement

CAS is a joke. Read the CAS decision about City Sports group to get a taste. They do next to no actual investigation, they take basically take people at their word that have every reason to lie.

Turns out that the only fair, level playing field sport is Mr Olympia.

Allez la pt c’est que 12 minutes

im superior, i watch more plates more dates.

The ones that got the medals through lifetime of hardwork are the true superhumans!💜

If you can’t stop them from doing the thing, just let everyone do the thing. This way everything is fair.

People, it's a business. Athletes take the gear to get paid. If they don't, someone else will take their place. Watch cartoons if this bothers you.

A wise man once told me, "If a human is involved there's corruption". LOL

we act like we don't want it, if steroids wasn't around we wouldn't see records broken

Crime in Society: why it can't be stopped | The Realist

Can crime be stopped? Should we just give up and not have any police because crimes are continuity being commited?

I wanna see roided athlete vs roided athlete

Let them maximize what science can do.
That will even the playing field

No...

keep in mind that the anonymous study of athletes was of athletes in the IAAF, so athletics. this is one of the sports where doping is the worst. not all sports are equal in this.

Majority of them are on drugs, very few natural athletes are there. Natural athletes like COE FELIX & BOLT are rare

It should be legal

I still think Russia was a political smear campaign. You can't look at some American athletes and tell me they are not juicing. They just have so much influence over the Olympics that $$ silences any questions regarding the US Olympic teams.

Never knew olympics was really just a drug feast

I wonder why China has so many facilities to research stimulants probably those which cant be tracked by the doping tests. Probably we will have some answers from this year's Olympics:)

Which companies make these dopes?

they should just allow it in the olympics

Cheating in sports is cool. Hopefully more people will dope in the future.

Can they have doping Olympics?
