Oh, there's plenty of shame. First, many athletes are coerced into it by coaches and higher up, to the detriment of their own long-term health not to mention personal integrity and ethics. Second, most sports are zero sum, and each position won by a doper is a theft from someone who didn't dope. I recommend reading the retirement statement[1] that Nicole Cooke wrote a few years ago, which coincided with the Lance Armstrong doping revelations. It's a sobering look into how these dynamics work within a team and sport, and what they do to people who have the personal strength to opt out of cheating. 1. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jan/14/nicole-cooke-retirement-statement https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jan/14/nicole-cooke-r...
