So, I was recently reading up on Lance Armstrong... I think the "doping" thing is cheating, plain and simple! what is your take, and why?

It's not cheating

It is TOTALLY cheating

This is sad because the image he was selling was an inspiration to so many people with cancer and their families. A guy who survived the disease and went to become a champion in cycling whats better story to give courage and faith to all people suffering from cancer. In my opinion his biggest betrayal was to those people. Even if parts of his life could still encourage people, who can see it like that anymore, he is just a liar and a cheat

Of course it's cheating. Who's arguing that it isn't?

It's not cheating when literally every other successful cyclist is using the exact same drugs you are. The only difference is that he got caught. It's naive bullshit to think that there are any star professional athletes not using performance-enhancing drugs.

[DocHolliday904]

so you think it is acceptable?

[TheSpartan]

Thanks for the MHO!

I don't understand blood doping. You're just taking our own blood out, oxygenating it, then putting it back in. Who is that cheating? It's brilliant, actually

[DocHolliday904]

you oxygenate your blood by breathing, if you can't breathe well enough to do so, you shouldn't be a professional athlete at all.

[Sojex]

But I'm saying you aren't really adding any drugs or steroids just more oxygen. It's so smart. It should be allowed in my opinion

[DocHolliday904]

or you should train harder so that your lungs do it naturally.

[Sojex]

Virtually every successful athlete uses some kind of something that isn't allowed. As long as drugs aren't being used to facilitate the blood doping process and it's done as an autologous blood transfusion, then I think it should be allowed. Better than using anabolic steroids or hgh!

[DocHolliday904]

they should all be banned from their sports for use of any performance enhancement

[Sojex]

That's your opinion, champ

[DocHolliday904]

anyone who has worked their ass off to attain a level of prowess in a sport should be deeply offended by fuckbags who take short cuts...

[Sojex]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[DocHolliday904]

was that meant to look like meatwad?
