lol wtf, they actually went through with a roided up event? Everytime some high profile athlete gets popped for PEDs, there's always always the talk about "why not just let everyone roid up as much as possible!"

Yeah true always see this comment. Some think attributes such as aggression or excitement in some sports went down because the testing got stricter (along with rule changes on fouls).
There's a classic both sides-ism. It endangers athletes' health versus ghouls fund it heavily.
It has been criticised for endangering athletes' health and undermining fair play.
However, it has also attracted heavyweight backing from a venture capital fund headed up by Donald Trump Jr, the US president's son, and billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel.
Thiel was the one who propped this shit up. The founder d'souza says the IOC is corrupt and doesn't pay their athletes enougj. So what does he do? Do this freakshow. Athlete pay and all thay... More chud populism that misses the point by lightyears. Now I've seen studies saying some athletes don't live shorter lives due to doping but I guarantee you give em free reign and it won't end well.

Doping covers a lot of ground and I have no idea what drug cocktails are currently en vogue. But "traditional" stuff like human growth hormone and anabolic steroids can lead to all sorts of health problems. The ghouls are encouraging them to dope up so the end result would be extreme drug cocktail abuse to try to go that fraction of a second faster or whatever.
Exactly. They want to do what bodybuilding, strongman and powerlifting orgs do. Hell they have tested and untested categories for for those sports too and even the tested are hella juiced
