Or, you can not care that these athletes are using science to perform optimally at their sport. That's what I do, but that's another argument.
- rprospero 14y agoIf a racer was going to use science to perform optimally, why didn't he just buy a motorcycle? 19th century thermodynamics would push him far past anything he could achieve with 21st century biology. You might argue that it's against the rules to ride a motorcycle, but so was doping. It's also against the spirit of the sport, but so was doping. If the objective was to use the best available science to compete at the highest level, then they failed horribly.
