If you commit to sufficient monitoring and doctor-management to prevent people from using unsafe doses, 1. how is that easier than not letting them dose at all? 2. How is it better than not letting them dose at all? 3. How are the incentives biased in favor of your proposal? (Answer key: 1. not at all; 2. not at all; 3. not at all) |

Why does it have to be easier? 2. Better because it's out in the open (end of the big lie), docs are directly monitoring the process (e.g. avoid infection, contaminants, keeping dosages in control, etc.), sponsors know up front what they're paying for (and can't give us BS later on, a la USPS), potential pro cyclists know what they're getting into, etc. 3. Incentives are that athletes know what they're up against instead of guessing (exact drugs, dosage levels, costs, etc.), event results aren't dependent on court rulings, but best of all, being kicked out of the Olympics to avoid IOC corruption. |
