    Not really a level playing field because good people dropped out of the sport because they did not want to do the doping.

    Also, people react differently to the types of drugs given so even if everyone doped some had more of an advantage than others.

    FWIW.

    Interesting perspective on the US Postal doctor from Scott Mercier, the guy who quit when he was given all the steroids. This article is similar to the other one posted on TE, but his take on the doctor is worth reading.

    Even students are intentionally taking Adderall and other ADHD meds in order to give them increased focus on their SAT and other high-stakes testing.
