Athletics is still dominated by drug users. Especially the sprint events. That's obvious. Sure, some fighters/athletes will have unfair advantage, but that's always the case. Look at the reality of professional boxing : The top professional boxers as prospects are built up on gross mismatches. All the time promoters are matching talented, full-time, well-backed, highly-paid young fit athletes with mediocre under-trained guys who probably drive trucks for a living and are expected to get knocked out quick, and are only there to get a few thousand dollars to pay the bills. If i can accept that, I'm not gonna worry about PEDs. But that's just my opinion.
Athletics does still have a high level of users but they are making an effort to stamp it out Boxing is doing nothing. Personally I will never be OK with people gaining an unfair advatage through chemical means it takes everything away from the words Sport and Competition. It becomes a competition of the Pharmacy rather than the individual. A mis match is still a match but if its a mis match because one of them has better access to drugs rather than a better dedication in training to there craft that is morally wrong and unjustifiable in my eyes,.
I agree. The people who run these sports say they want PEDs stamped out, but they also need athletes to use PEDs because the spectators have come to expect a certain level of performance. People want to see world records set, they want to see superior athletes, faster and stronger than ever before, with super-human stamina. That's impossible without PEDs.
