Are you an up and coming doping? Are you a current pro considering doping? Watch WADA's lastest video

Good, I'll sleep well tonight because WADA released a cartoon outlining how we can cuddle the sport away from corruption.

So basically wada has realized that they can't catch dopers. They decided their money is better spent on making cartoons to convince athletes why it is morally wrong to dope.

At least this is a step up from their previous efforts such as... Asking athletes politely not to dope.

... an up and coming doping?

I'm sure this would have deterred Lance Armstrong. Where was this video back then?

Here's an idea. Fine the athlete's sponsor if their athlete gets caught doping. It couldn't be too much to keep sponsors from putting money into the sport, but enough that it's monetarily better to help keep the pressure against doping rather than toward it. Maybe there could be a % charge of the amount paid to the athlete, with the % tiered based on the severity of the doping.

I haven't thought it out completely, but with enough minds I think it'd have a shot at helping. Hmm... but maybe not in Russia.

Doping is not a "short-cut" as this advertisement of clean sport claims. It is a way to get more gains from hard work or recover faster. Yes, not matter which way it is cheating, but at least make sure to go with the correct claim to why it is illegal.

"support personnel...collaboration...integrated approach...values based education." So much pyscho-bable, I couldn't even pay attention during the entire video.

Our culture has lost the ability to talk about ethical issues in any coherent way.

Steve Turner rightly described the ethical shallowness of our modern culture when he stated

"We believe that man is essentially good. It’s only his behavior that lets him down. This is the fault of society. Society is the fault of conditions. Conditions are the fault of society.

We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him. Reality will adapt accordingly. The universe will readjust. History will alter. We believe that there is no absolute truth excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth."

EPO is not the only drug that works this way, but understand how it works before spouting off. EPO makes you better at running (faster) right away, extra gains from "hard work" are not what it does. You are better by virtue of delivering MORE oxygen to your muscles (all else being equal) at any rate of work than you could with a lower hematocrit.

HGH and steroids work how you are suggesting, but they also improve your ability at any level of effort as they both develop bigger, denser and more powerful mitochondria than your body can without them.

That's pathetic. WADA thinks the answer to doping is to become dopey.

That dude with the fat hand can really sketch.
