Why not have an athletic competition where drugs are allowed?

[wirednuts]

if anyone thinks it would be cool to have a drug enabled sporting event, just actually think about it. it would be a disaster. it would give incentive to thousands or millions of people to do drugs that they otherwise wouldnt do. then you think about these parents got to be role models for their kids too, but all they would do is teach them "do drugs to get to the top".

i know its a fun idea, but in reality it is just ridiculous. now, if we are talking a sporting event that involves willing death row inmates... well then maybe we can talk 😀

Sounds fun until you have a country like China that starts genetically engineering embryos to be groomed starting at birth to do nothing but compete in a specialized event. Toss in some training cocktails and a pit stop between events and you have a medal winning machine that is taken out back and disposed of once it's out of warranty.

Then it can be a science competition. :thumbsup:

Sounds badass to me!

Health care costs for used up 35 year old 'roid users would be worse than smoking-related health care costs.
