Even without doping, athletic training is not necessarily what you would call "healthy". Take an anecdotic example: A guy doing basketball professionally for years, and now requiring knee surgery because his knee is just destroyed. I think it's the focus on extreme athletic performance that encourages people to "fuck up their bodies". I guess encouraging doping would make it worse, but then my expectation is that the athletes who actually win competitions already do doping most of the time. I'm not saying sports should be banned. Just be aware of the costs.
