I agree with Mighty M... I struggle to see a HUGE difference between the accepted drugs and the unacceptable ones. Perhaps I am not educated enough on what is out there as options. But I know I prefer to use accellerade and gu on long rides as it aides my perfomance. I don't race anymore, and I have never tried anything I can't buy at the LBS. If I intenionally use these performance enhancing drugs, does that mean I didn't honestly beat the guy that only had water in his camel back. I mean seriously, if he had the same oportunity as I did to get ahold of a cliff bar and a gu shot, and chose a banana and water instead...does that mean I cheated?

Perhaps looking at why these drugs are illegagle would help. Do they come with serious health risks, or are they just plain performance enhancers?
