The team with better chemicals will win. When fans see their teams constantly losing to teams with better chemicals they will lose interest.

Fans will not stomach losing to a team that is winning, not by skill or natural ability but by having better chemicals.

Secondly, who told you that athletes who are not doping are sub par. I personally do no think Rudisha, Jelimo, Kiptanui et al are doping. And they are hardly sub par. As far back as 1978 there was Henry Rono setting 3 world records in a year.



Chemists are always rushing to produce the next great chemical. When a new chemical is produced, nobody knows the side effects. You speak of EPO but that has been around for a decade. When a new synthetic drug is produced, it is often given t athletes without even knowing the side effects.

Athletes are always using the latest synthetic drug whose side effects they do not understand. Why do you think Flo-Jo died of a heart attack at age 36?



I am not sure what your point is. But two things occur to me:
a. People want to see athletes win by natural ability. They do not like cheats. Kenyans are proud of their athletes now. If they find out its not natural ability but doping, all the pride will go out the window. In fact many Kenyans are starting to lose pride in their athletes now.

b. The champ will not always win if he is competing against a person who is doping.



PEDs do indeed make you a champ.
Lok at Ben Johnson. When he was on steroids he regularly clocked 9.79 and 9.83 for the 100m. When he stopped doping he could not even run below 10.00

Same thing with Dwain Chambers. When he was doping, he ran a career best 9.85. After he was banned and re-0instated, he has never run faster than 10.05.

And Flo Jo would never have won Olympic gold without doping. She was not even good enough to qualify for 100m in 1984 then suddenly in 1988 she was Olympic champ.

And Read the story of Kelli White. Before doping she says she was not even good enough to qualify. Doping made her world champion.

Also doping helps you remain at your best for a longer time. Our own Rita Jeptoo was on the wane. she had gone 6 years without ever winning a city marathon. Her husband says she started doping in 2012. And she went from losing form to winning Chicago and Boston multiple times

Na hizo dopping tings zinauzangwa wapi na pesa ngapi? Ningetaka kumaliza 42km Marathon in less than 5 hrs.

Hii ni kwa sababu they only seem to concentrate on the fast runners. Wengine wetu tunataka tu kumaliza

I change my mind

1. As regards fans, they will support winners, you can say what you want but sport is never fair

2. THE CHAMP WILL ALWAYS BE THE CHAMP, at the point you make it to the 100m finals of a major games you have the genetic disposition to be a champ, drugs give you that extra allowing you to train harder recover faster, funny u mention ben johnson, well every single athlete in the 88 100m finals failed a test before or after that race, including carl lewis

note this: drugs merely are the icing on the cake they allow you to train harder recover faster...steroids are actually said to slow an athlete in an explosive sport down

3. Laughable that you say people like those who win by natural ability? what is natural ability isn't testosterone natural? what is more natural a wind contoured bike and suit or testosterone?

i had the same deluded view point most have on PEDs in sports until i watched the docu BIGGER STRONGER FASTER...watch it and see what i mean

aai!
