There sure are a lot of dopers in the USA!
Personally I don't like drugs at all and don't believe in them, don't like doping, doping agencies, doping tests, doping accusations, and consider them all to be the same thing, worthless drug hysteria that only causes destruction.
However the Stepanova story is interesting and touching. I like love stories, which this is. I like their fight for independence, against doping, and feel more people should look at the issue in this manner, together and not separately.
Stop fighting each other, accusing each other, trying to ban each other.
Let's all be together, not ban anyone, and simply put a stop to the drug issues completely.
