there’s so much to unpack here. the whole “just allow everything” is, with respect, incredibly dangerous and unfair.
it’s dangerous because of how fucking dangerous these drugs are. case after case of athletes dying in their sleep, cancer, overdosing, roid raging, tainted blood doping, etc.
it’s unfair because drug use doesn’t affect us all equally. for example, if my natural hematocrit is 35 and yours is 45, EPO or other blood doping will give me a HUGE advantage over you. there’s no way you’ll be able to compete with me. i’ve got tons of extra room to juice my veins with red blood that you don’t. the same for insulin, cortico, HGH, etc.
The whole “it’s unfair whaaaa” thing sounds like some moralistic capitalist bullshit anyways.
counterpoint: the “just allow it” sounds like rightwing libertarian nonsense. we have rules and regulations for very, very good reasons.
