And he also says how he could see how a moral person could use drugs, in other words, it is not necessarily immoral?
Strange.
"but I can definitely understand how a good moral person
might feel compelled to do so(dope). That person might not even consider it cheating if they
believe all their top competitors are doing it.
This is similar to athletes taking appearance fees and prize monies prior to it being allowed by
the governing bodies. It was against the rules, but everyone did it because they knew the
rules were a sham and that everyone else was doing it. If an athlete didn’t take the money 20
years ago, he was the only on to lose out because the money would just remain with the race
director or whomever."
And it also appears that alberto was angling for some legal testosterone in his day..... and maybe giving to his athletes?
"In the case of hypo-gonadism, which results
in low testosterone levels, the vast majority of patients receiving that treatment have not had a
testicle removed. Years and years of heavy endurance training is known to result in low
hormonal levels for many athletes that should be treated, but yet these athletes are basically
told that if they wish to still compete they can not be treated in the best manner for their health"
