If you were offered a pill that would gurantee you a gold medal at the olympics, but you would die 1 year later...would you take it??

YES. You have nothing to lose in trying to win.
No. Maybe it's just me. I like life.
Dude, are you crazy?
(oops, sorry a_Goofy_runner for the "D" word)
What does the pill taste like?
If tastes like mint chocolate chip ice-cream, no way.
Sure, if the Olympics was the 2052 Olympics, I could handle winning a gold at age 87 and dying at 88
Hmmm, I just read that story last week in Parker's "Runners & Other Dreamers."

You're a racewalker, right?
be like Oscar de la Hoya. Remember the Vargas fight Oscar won and turns out Vargas was on steroids. Winners don't need nothing to kick you candy ass. Do you smell what the rock is "cooking?" ;>
Is Death the only deterrent for you all? I mean, do you think that the satisfaction of an Olympic Gold might be dimmed only a bit by the fact that the only thing you did was take a pill? The fact that it wasn't my mindset, ability to recover, training intelligence, and over all genetic superiority would make the moment feel a little less special.
The whole gloriousness of an olympic medal is that its so difficult to achieve. If all one had to do is take a pill, it would no longer be special.
The only way I would ever want to win an olympic medal is by blood, sweat, and a trail of tears - not by a little purple pill.
I catch you drift bro, but just eating a pill will not do squat unless you are top or in the upper echelons of your sport. Seriously is it worth to stake you life just for the Penguin to take EPO and improve his 1 and a half hr 10K time
to say maybe 40min with walk breaks and donut breaks.
Very Impressive; a little "too clever"

Instead of death, you would lead a long and healthy life but, the side effects are impotence (sorry, Viagra won't help), chronic flatulance, and going bald (however, you would sprout massive amounts of thick, luxurious back hair)?
Would you do it?
humm let me see I'm already impotent and fart a lot so what else do I have to lose. Give me that pill.

Aren't you the guy who takes Vaam?
Cut back on the Japanese bug juice and those symptoms should go away.
lets see if I had a blue pill that did what you says it does. I'd be laughing, all the way to the bank.Hahaha
You ar right about that ya Jabroni

What if everybody in the race took it? What would happen?
This same question was asked in a study. Also the question was asked but the outcome was, severe hormonal or physical ailment. Something like 10% answered yes to the death question but like 60-70% answered yes to the 2nd question. It was asked to competitive world class athletes.
