Good grief! The lack of character shown in recent years in all professional mens sports is just shameful. Since doping and roids are now the norm maybe they should just welcome them with open arms and anyone stupid enough to do that to their body can compete.

i know, right?!

doping will never go away just as there will never be world peace, i'm sorry, but i just don't see it. they can even have two separate sports - one for the dopers to see how far the human body can be pushed beyond it's natural potential, and one for those who choose to compete naturally. this way everybody gets to do what's on their agenda, create severe penalties for those who try and cheat (i.e. doper to compete in "natural" races - penalty to expel that person from racing completely and indefinitely), and there aren't any of these stupid problems anymore.

i think they either need to separate the two or make penalties so severe that it discourages people altogether from doping. what's the harm in being on a 2 year suspension? what kind of point does that get across to others and children (the future of the sport)? - if you do something bad, illegal, and against the rules then you'll only have a slap on the hand suspension for a short period of time. i think that's a bad answer to a horrible epidemic problem.
