Ultimately, it is bad for a two time convicted doper to be at the World Championships and even worse if he wins a medal. I don't mind seeing the commentators sacrifice a little bit of "professionalism" in order to give the spectators some truth and some passion.
Wrong on all counts!
The really bad thing is the EMPHASIS on using drugs, for supposed betterment of times, healthy, advantages etc. Whether or not they supposedly give some advantage, if people really want them out of sport, then stop building them up.
To the contrary, Cram, Radcliffe and Coe constantly go on all about them, which convinces me that they've been using drugs constantly! The only way to truly get drugs out of sport is to immediately BAN the idiots who keep advertising how supposedly good they are.
To sum up the drug issue, RADCLIFFE. Supposedly the fastest time ever for a woman, by more than 3 minutes, and no drugs????? Either drugs make no difference, WADA and all the other alphabet agencies should be disbanded immediately, OR Radcliffe, and therefore Cram & Coe since they know all the inside information, are heavily into them.
Either way, stop the hypocrisy. If they can get away with using so easily, then so should everyone else be able to do the same thing, or not, as they wish.
Or to the contrary if drugs have provided no advantage, which in any case doesn't leave Radcliffe off the hook, then all the drug BS advertising - which is what the drug talk is - should come to a halt and the issue disappear.
THIS is the truth, not to keep advertising that everyone has to be taking drugs.
