So it is only "faith" that peds work; no one has proof that they do? Yours is the faith, that there is no evidence that peds enhance performance. Huge amounts of money are spent on acquiring peds that don't work and anti-doping is attempting to eradicate drugs that don't enhance performance. You are truly ridiculous.
"Only" is your word, not mine.
What is meant by "PEDs" and "work" is subjective for each individual, but among those lacking faith in themselves and their training, the faith in "PEDs" "working", whatever that subjectively means to them, is a common factor.
The PED black market can only be as big as it is when the faith is both strong, and highly popular among the mindless masses who don't rely on proof, but on rumor and word of mouth.
After multiple reviews, a group of scientific and medical experts were unanimous in their view that thyroid medication doesn't even have the potential to enhance performance.
It really doesn't matter whether you agree, or disagree, or say you agree then disagree anyway.
So why do athletes who aren't sick take thyroid meds - along with their peds?

Why do athletes who aren't sick eat bananas? or eat pasta? or drink Gatorade?

Why is it so hard to believe that injecting medicine PROVEN TO HELP THOSE SUFFERING WITH DISEASE won't aid in the athletic performance of a healthy individual when they inject the same medicine?
I have a feeling for many hobby joggers/sub-elites, doping isnt always about taking home the glorious $50 gift card or crossing the finish line first in your local turkey trot only to say "gobble gobble MFers." More likely about being able to bang out mile repeats, and afterwords wanting to head home to do a few rounds with the wife. PED's not only make you faster, but quality of life while on them vastly improves.
Yeah. Steroids got a horrible rep from the if if 1 tablet is good, 10 must be better crowd. There is some pretty solid evidence from the anti-aging crowd that low level test replacement is pretty solid from a QOL perspective. Long term effects are still TBD.

You don't "believe" in testosterone??? weird.
It's not hard to believe -- on the contrary, it's easy to believe.

Does going to church make you run faster? WADA should be told.
What athletes are not subject to anti-doping rules? Those who don't compete?
Did ABC happen to say how many of the prescriptions were for competing athletes subject to anti-doping rules?
Boosting t-levels would be of much more conspicuous advantage to aging athletes than any other group, but they wouldn't be the ones using it in your fairytale world.
Masters are supposedly subject to doping rules but there is no testing except in track. The few road races that test are known by the users so they either don’t show up or they get off of the sauce a few weeks before after all of the training is done.

Why do athletes who aren't sick eat bananas? or eat pasta? or drink Gatorade?
So you can buy thyroid meds along with your bananas?
I suppose that people who take thyroid meds also pay for them. Maybe their health insurance picks up some of it. Do you buy your prescribed daily aspirin?

Another mythical story brought to us from La-La land.
In my world, we started this particular exploration of your faith with me saying "Understandable among competitive older men ..."
You've fabricated both sides of this imaginary dispute and are arguing with yourself.

WADA probably already knows that faith can make you run faster.
Look at all the winners who bow and kneel at the finish, and point to the sky, and make trinity cross symbols, and thank their god.
WADA permits faith because it falls within the spirit of the sport, and is not considered potentially harmful to health, so falls short of WADA's criteria to ban it.

So you have no idea why testosterone is a banned drug and you have no idea that aging athletes who are losing testosterone would benefit from it and you have no idea that in the ballooning prescriptions for testosterone among the older age groups that this will include recreational athletes. You simply have no idea. About anything.
So you can buy thyroid meds along with your bananas?
I suppose that people who take thyroid meds also pay for them. Maybe their health insurance picks up some of it. Do you buy your prescribed daily aspirin?
Are your bananas prescribed? Or are you just bananas.

Testing is hardly rigorous at elite and professional levels - and athletes know how to avoid getting caught. But testing will be much less at masters and collegiate levels. The safest assumption is that there are those who will do anything to win - at any level - if they feel they can get away with it. Doping isn't only for world championship medallists.

Fascinating. So faith is performance enhancing but drugs aren't.
