There are a few scenarios that I thought could happen:
1.the coach and athlete both have doping intentions (no issue)
2. Coach wants to dope, athlete doesn't
3. Athlete wants to, coach doesn't
4. Neither want to dope (no issue)
Some questions/comments I have for discussion:
Is it like a process? Like maybe the athlete starts off clean and if they don't improve enough, then they dope.
Do athletes do it behind their coach's back? I don't think this would be very common, as the coach would eventually find out. And I don't see how it could work the other way.
If either the coach or athlete wants to dope and the other is unsure, how do they get on the same page? If either one mentions that they want to dope to the other, and the other one doesn't want to, or is unsure, wouldn't there be a risk of the other person telling authorities? How do people avoid this scenario?
Do people go into pro athletics knowing they want to dope?
