Both Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis were on steroids, fwiw. "True winner" is a joke.
Sure, because they were also doping. Seriously though, I wouldn't say steroids make you _more skilled_, but they absolutely give a physical advantage over natural athletes. Which is why there aren't any top level natural athletes anymore except in very dedicated natural-only circles.
You're agreeing with me, I think, but in the form of an argument.
It's not really cheating anymore, since everyone does it now, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's not nothing either.
If you follow your logic and some how eliminate all outside advantage, then you may come to the conclusion that athletic competition is meaningless.
Following your logic of that’slife and genetics are part of natural life while steroids are so wrong, we should heavily focus on making sure advantages from consumption are curbed. No supplements, no high protein low calorie food. Limit medications and so on.
As genetics are a part of life, something I never disagreed with, and we all agree they are not equal in fairness, why are steroids of almost any kind frowned upon so strongly? But other life advantages or disadvantages are hand waved away?
