If you believe in sportsmanship, doping would be considered wrong.

The issue then becomes what is considered doping?

Doping means that a human or animal has an unfair advantage so of course it is wrong

i really don't see the meaning of unfair advantage in sports. an athlete eats some broccoli while the other doesn't, unfair? one consumes a ridiculous amount of protein, the other doesn't, unfair? one trains in the mountains with less O2, the other doesn't, unfair? one athlete takes steroids, the other doesn't, unfair?

i would guess most would say broccoli is fine, protein is fine, mountains are sketchy/fine and steroids are sketchy. essentially they are all methods to take advantage of the body. as far as i can tell the only difference between the accepted and rejected scenarios is that everyone is doing the accepted ones and not everyone the others.

you don't need excess protein for muscle growth as much as you don't need steroids, and i'm sure a natural growth or homeopathic supplement would be considered perfectly sound. why? because drugs fallacy

Side: No

If "doping" means steroids, I have no hang-ups. If someone in Sports can afford to take steroids, let it be.

Side: No
