    course its not cheating, it stimulates what you already got, it doesnt add what you dont have.

    The issue for them is whetehr they rely on them in the future for what may become trivial matters, and they need a stronger stimulant to replace them in the future. life is long, and everytime you make a decision such as this, it can add to what makes up your character 20 years down the road.


    except for dealing with the consequences of drug addiction so yes they do care actually.

    That's fair.

    My point is it's not worse than what 99% of what the rest of the human race does, alcohol, nicotine, sugar, various their recreational drugs, etc

    If you are being real, a 99% figure isnt at all true.

    But compared to those who do, yes.

    99% is definitely accurate.

    Every take drugs.

    Most people unknowingly, caffeine / sugar is in things you don't expect

    Alcohol

    Smoking

    Painkillers

    Cough medicine

    There are thousands. Everyone takes them at some point or another. They all have potentially serious side effects, if not taken as advised.

    Same with steroids, they can kill you, do it properly and they won't.

    Btw, you said heart surgery is a sign f being unfit, Arnold was a bodybuilder, they are notoriously unfit. Sumo wrestlers will have better stamina than bodybuilders.

    But with these students there are no rules prohibiting the use of such stimulants which there is in sports in regards to PED's. If they did ban the use of such stimulants and tested people after each exam, how many people do you think would use these stimulants?

    In sports there is the concept that everyone competes on an equal footing. Nobody should have an unfair advantage. Of course you could legalise PED's but then people would push what you could take to the point in may damage health. People will say it can be done without health consequences but many of the East German athletes are physical wrecks from all that doping, heart defects, hormonal/infertility issues, joint and cartilage damage etc. Then eventually you'll have to ban some more dangerous practices which of course then puts us back as square one with people cheating and using the banned practices to get an advantage.

    There is really is no need. If I didn't know any better then I would probably take them but only under the supervision of someone who knows how to dose them correctly as it can easily go wrong.

    There are naturally occurring herbs which if you know how to use correctly, can make you feel as if you were on roids, without the risks.

    depending on what you use, they can have more risks than might think. I would advise doublechecking anything you take with a professional, more for cross-complications than anything else.

    Unlike baseball which gets everyone’s panties in a bunch anytime someone’s name is linked to steroids, boxing is too dangerous enough to give PED users a chance. Using PEDs should either:

    A. Result in a lifetime ban
    B. Result in a requirement to ONLY participate in fights where BOTH fighters can use PEDs.

    I know for a fact the WBC would be onboard with this idea. They could have the Regular, Diamond, Silver, and Eternal beltholders PLUS PED versions of each. That’s 8 “World Champions” from one organization, in one division.

    I said sugar, not glucose. I'm pretty sure your aware I was referring to unnecessary sugars such as sweets, cakes etc. Not rice, pasta etc.

    These have zero health benefits at all, empty calories. They are worse than most drugs.
