real teller of how it is wrote:
I don't know who did or didn't dope but, let's be real here..
Gold = fame and fortune
Silver/Bronze = modest fame particularly if you're representing a western nation.
Any other result = food stamps or flipping burgers for a living if you're a westerner or raising goats if you're not.
Why WOULDN'T the average athlete risk it????
Easy to answer: Gold = Fame and fortune and if caught disgrace, become a pariah, a laughing stock, loose everyone's respect and credibility, loose it all that will lead to...food stamps or flipping burgers for a living if you're a westerner or raising goats if you're not.
Same rule applies to silver and bronze.
