- matwood 2y agoIf that's the goal, then you might as well get rid of all contact sports - drugs or not.
- alistairSH 2y agoProbably a case to be made for doing that. At least with martial arts/combat sports, American football, and probably rugby (mostly related to brain damage, not broken bones/joints).
- pyrale 2y agoAlso to make it a sports contest and not a pharma contest. It's the same reason there's a minimum weight for bikes used in the race: people tend to disregard security when making lighter bikes, and the cost of experiments means that some competitors exit the sport because they can't compete on funding.
