I think you vastly underestimate the lengths that people will go to for fame, money, and success.
Optimized nutrition and vitamins for peak performance aren't that detrimental to your health. Shooting up amphetamines before a game for a slight edge is most definitely detrimental to your health.
It doesn't seem silly that sports leagues would want to put limits on the substances their athletes take.

- antasvara 3y agoI'm not talking about gym culture, which can be great. (It can also be incredibly toxic, but that's a different discussion). I'm talking about athletes at the professional level, where the margins are razor thin and the benefits of winning arlcna be immense. I'm talking about the levels where the difference between everyone knowing your name and not being able to make a living can be a few percent, or fractions of a second.
- eternityforest 3y agoYeah, I can understand why steroids are a thing when possibly millions of dollars are on the line. That's pretty much a guarantee that someone will dope. The top level of anything seems to be determined at least partly by who's willing to make sacrifices.
