    Why should doping even be illegal? You sound a lot like chuds talking about trans athletes

    Competition will never be perfectly fair, Michael Phelps is a genetic freak who’s just better at swimming than most people due to his insane lung capacity but he’s still allowed to compete

      To be fair doping is literally cheating and causing further damage to already exploited athletes, where as being trans just makes you cool as hell

      Countries and contestants have all agreed that doping is not allowed. If you promise something and have no intention to keep the promise you are in fact a liar.

      There has been, and probably still is, a government funded doping program in Russia. So not only have their contestants been proved to be cheaters, Russia has been caught sponsoring it all too.

      So while you like to derail this discussion towards on whether doping should be allowed or not it still doesn’t change the fact that Russia actively promoted cheating.
