Flo Jo, Pantini are two dead good reasons why we shouldn't

Can't do that. There's an ethical argument with regard to sport. Achievement in sport should be defined the way it is (in theory, at least) - you get better than the other guy because you worked harder to enhance your God-given talents. Allowing drugs into sport negates peoples' hard work who don't want to take drugs. And people have very good reaso ...[text shortened]... cles the size of grapes is one of them. You want nuts the size of a bull's balls, like me.

Well, Del...suppose this is a rhetorical question, and will treat it as such.
LOL! Only if "...nuts the size of a bull's balls, like me." was a rhetorical statement.

i don't know Flo Jo but when i first started watching cycling Pantini was at his peek - did anyone care when they were watching his brilliance that he was on drugs? same for Landis this year and that stage, when watching it i knew i was watching the best stage i'd ever seen in the tour. i know its unfair to the other people in the race if he did take drugs but isn't sport entertainment? i want to see people at their best so the tv coverage is the best possible.

In all seriousness Trev,

I enjoy the spectacle of seeing athletes on the podium picking up their medals. After years of work, 24/7 vigorous training regimes and personal sacrifices they make to get to that point, the sheer emotion when they win is very pleasing to watch.

And then to see someone take performance enhancing drugs to win their respective sports, just takes away any joy in watching someone pick up their medal (Did they take drugs?). Instead of making the sacrfices other sports people make, they bypass all the pain and go straight for the gain.

It's poor sportmanship no matter which way you want to look at it.

I do agree with you about Landis great stage win and enjoyed watching it at the time, but looking back on it, he totally ruined the tour for me...

This is why I started this thread, I don’t think landis took any drugs (don’t want him to have either) if you look back at his career and how it started, the guy’s a worker not a cheater. With years of predictable lance winning + the two main favourites not being allowed to compete (dam drugs again) this years tour had the chance to be the most open + exciting for years - and it was.

If drugs were legal these bogus test results wouldn’t be ruining any past or future sporting entertainment.

So if Landis didn't cheat how you explain a test showing very high levels of testosterone and a second test showing the presence of testosterone that was not produced by Landis's body?
