Nice try but poor analogy
It's spot on. If you believe that everyone cheats, then you believe that everyone cheats. Why would your lady be any different? One of the good ones?
Most of these athletes, outside of the Iron Curtain, are legitimate. It's staggering to consider that you picture this conspiratorial world where young athletes come through the university ranks and then are revealed the ugly truth to them and they all keep quiet about it. You forget that secrets are only truly easy for two people to keep if one is dead.

Please list every athlete in the sport that you personally know that is clean. You are with them day and night. Under your watchful eye you see everything that goes on. Your statement is completely invalid.
Come again? Why should I prepare a list of clean athletes? And which one of my statements do you think was invalid?
Researchers compiled the information from athletes who competed at the world championships in Daegu, South Korea, four years ago. The results reportedly show that 29-34% of the 1,800 competitors had confessed to using banned performance-enhancing techniques in the previous 12 months.

Good to know one of your favorite athletes is a convicted doper.
No kidding. That's weird.
This is the website where you don't have to prove that elite athletes are dirty. They have to prove to you that they are clean. But since absolutely nothing in that area would be accepted as proof here, no one will ever be believed to be clean.
Why are you people fans of the sport anyway?
