On topic of high level sports I feel that usage of performance enhancing drugs must be rampant.
That's why sumo is the best, if they're in the top division they're almost always on PED. Makes it fairer lol
Even without explicit drugs, rich teams can afford so much absurd bullshit - high altitude training, hyper specialized diets, expensive training facilities, that calling what happens "competition" is just farcical. Just let them all do drugs, it'd make things more exciting. I want to see how far a human being really can jump before their tibia snaps like a reed from the stress put on it by their own muscles.
I am 100% on team "Everyone involved in the Olympics organization at a high level gets the wall". It's a mobile humanitarian disaster of graft, violence, enforced poverty, to say nothing of all the cheating but technicalyl it's not cheating.
