- parpfish 2y agoyeah, it seems weird that certain scientific and technological breaktroughs are seen as cheating while other are not. nutrition and sports science have made training far more effective than it used to be. materials science has created lighter/better/faster everything. the only harm i can see is if it encourages unhealthy behavior (i.e., convincing people to take dangerous supplements, potentially early in their career before theyve even come close to 'making it')
- jjtheblunt 2y ago> if it encourages unhealthy behavior... i often think this about the olympic gymnasts, some of whom are so much shorter than normal for the ages that i wonder if the activity altered their growth.
