I'm just going to repeat the notion I expressed in another thread about this.
I'm not convinced that making an untested olympics is going to get PEDs out of the tested olympics. If anything, we are just going to see more athletes in general using them, for better or worse.
I'm also just going to repost this instagram link. This was a really interesting take on staying and training natural. If you don't want to read the post, the gist is this:
Seeing higher performance (or mass, in the case of bodybuilding) due to PEDs has more to do with designing a better drug, not necessarily a better training program. Staying natural means you have to be more inovative with training techniques to see better results.
My personal take is that I would prefer to see athletes do more amazing things because of how they trained (or heck, even just "crazy genetics") than because they could afford a better, probably more expensive PED designed by some chemist or whatever.
Haven't owned a TV for most of the last 33 years. Might have to get one.
Concerning the men athletes I don’t think it’s a “bad idea”. Nor do I think it will be necessary to be “juiced to the gills” as there is a point of diminishing returns. For women athletes mmhhh?
True , but considering a decent 60" TV costs about 1/3 of a decent 15" laptop I might have to go big.I'm sure they'll have a streaming option.

I hope it doesn't make it on air.
It's all about money. Seeing an athlete say he'll juice to make millions is sad.
I have mixed feelings about this.
I heard a guy did better times than Usain Bolt?
What's sad is that he doesn't make money as a clean athlete and that he's willing to jump the fence just to make money.Why is it sad?
It's more honest that what happens now, which is they juice anyway to earn millions and then lie about it.
Chances are decent Bolt was saucing.I find that fascinating.
100%I don't think the objective of The Enhanced Games is to get PEDs out of the Olympics.
It's to entertain and make money.
What's sad is that he doesn't make money as a clean athlete and that he's willing to jump the fence just to make money.
100%
And that's another reason I don't like it.
The whole idea of the Olympics was to see who is the best in their sport, not who can hide their PED use best. Making it known that the competitors are juiced might just lead to seeing who can concoct the best regimen of chemical aids. That's not interesting to me, for the reason I already posted about. Promoting it to make money is even worse imo.
We've had multiple threads about PEDs here already. I'll just repeat what I always say.
I don't care if someone wants to use them, as long as they are honest and open about it. That said...
I, personally, don't like the idea of PEDs (excluding TRT for when you actually need it), and I think widespread, open use of them is just going to increase their usage. Since I am not sold on any sort of "safety" regarding their usage, I see this as something that is probably going to have more negative long term effects than anything positive. If I am mis-speaking, and some of them are somehow "safer" than I believe, well, I still don't like them, for the exact same reason as I previously stated. To me, training is about how you can make yourself better through discipline and careful planning, dedication, etc. It's not about who can make a better drug. If someone needs a drug to push themselves even further, even harder than they can without it, then I am just left wondering what sort of mental or emotional things are pushing them to that.
I'll pass.
