Why not have an athletic competition where drugs are allowed?

Drugs and any kind of drugs, even ones with fatal consequences?

If everyone dopes, still only the best amongst them will win or probably the most stupid ones who abuse their body to the limit and die in a few short years.

But damn it will be fun. I have my entertainment, the sportsmen have the glory, the sponsors the media rights. Win win for everyone, heck the companies even get rights to broadcast the funerals. Win win in my books.
 
I always thought that NASCAR would be more fun if drinking were allowed. Every 20 laps the drivers have to shotgun a beer or take a shot. Just think about it. The crashes would be spectacular.

Only drawback would be the risk of injury to the drivers and the crowd. But I'm sure that we could come up with some kind of innovation to address those roadblocks.

Skip the athletics and just make drugs the competition.

The events:

The Crack Challenge.
Meth, Meth, Meth.
Spike and/or die.
The Ka-Bong Bong
Name that Shroom.
 
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.
 
That wouldn't be a sport.

It would be Science experiment and many humans would suffer (not that current athletes don't end up suffering anyways...)

I say why not to Sport with NO drugs AT ALL.
 
there will always be cheaters. so let them have it.
lets see how fast they ran really run/swim/bike/lift/jump

Unfortunately its not far from that right now. Look at the gold medal ceremony pictures of the 16 year old swimmer from China. She can barely crack a smile.

Yeh, and then you give them a free pass to do it...and 😱

What I would be interesting in knowing is how various countries treat medals. In the US I feel like we heavily celebrate our individual athletes. Even in some other countries we look at athletes at an individual level and recognize them as individuals rather than "an athlete from XYZ country". But when it comes to China, I just feel like it's all about the total medal count and almost nothing about the individuals. Maybe its because we can't pronounce half their names. Maybe because us uncultured whiteys think they look the same. Whatever. But I just feels like China (and the former USSR or East Germany) were medal whores and just looking to take the overall total rather than embrace individuals.

It's just a further dehumanization of your population.

Remember the 2008 Olympics when they found an adorable little girl with a beautiful voice to sing at the opening ceremony, then decided she wasn't pretty enough and had another girl lip synch it? Goddamn.
 
DPRK would dominate juiced Olympics. All they'd require from their people is to survive the actual match, so the drug use would be extreme. Few from other countries would be willing to dedicate their lives to a stupid country, and game.
 
We need to start an alternative olympics that does no drug testing, we just make sure no one has robotic or cybernetic enhancements, no artificial limbs or body parts. You can use whatever chemical(organic) substances you want to enhance your performance.

Brock Lesnar disagrees with you. 😛

I do think we should allow it. The way things are now it makes the competition much less fair and we don't get to see the best competition possible.
 
Who says drugs aren't allowed in the Olympics. All you need is a state with deep enough pockets and willingness to bribe IOC officials. Worked wonders for the USSR, now China is catching roid raging wave.

Find me a non-corrupt IOC official and I'll show you a person who's lying about where they work.

I agree, they should allow drugs, since all the top competitors including Lance Armstrong cheat. Actually it's not cheating, in the Tour de France, all those bike teams, if you don't juice up, you're too slow and they will kick you off the team.

Now they have drugs that are undetectable. Just the other day a female chinese swimmer beat the time in the 4x relay race of male champ. Well she actually beat his time in the last 100 meter leg of the race, beat Michael Phelps time.


Every thing an athlete takes is performance enhancing anyway but they even make Marijuana illegal and test for it (Nick Diaz busted). In the UFC you can't even drink coffee the day of the Fight, they keep you sequestered.


They say synthetic testosterone helps to heal the body much faster, so you can train longer. But as I get older I get these injuries that take months to heal, I wish I knew where to buy some of that juice.
