Reply to "Another rant..."

I watched a new documentary called "9.79" which came out in August. You should watch it. It's the story of Ben Johnson, doping and the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

The story is based on really great interviews with all of the field that ran that race. It was probably the fastest 100 race ever. Ben Johnson was eliminated as we know so well. But recent testing of the original samples taken in 1988 showed that 7 of the 8 runners were on drugs.

Watching that documentary solidified my feelings and hence my rant - especially after watching Lance get hammered.

Since most elite athletes at the very top level of sport will (and probably should) try anything; and since any testing will always be irregular and unlikely to provide a fair interpretation of who's doing what; we should not insert unfair rules that we can't regulate, and simply open up the competition and forget about drug testing.
