We are talking professional competition here, the result of your logic is that anyone who wanted to compete professionaly would have to subject themselves (and their health) to doping.
I don't want to see such a future, where young athletes have no choice but to put their health at severe risk in order to be competitive.
And of course should doping be allowed as you suggest, and naturally everyone would have to use it in order to be competitive, we would see continued escalation in the amount/strength of doping used, since else you would not get a competitive advantage.
In short I can't understand your reasoning.
- ekianjo 11y agoIf we prevent doping we should prevent genetic differences since they are not fair and unjust.
- icebraining 11y agoFairness wasn't the reason present by gillianseed, so I don't see how your post is relevant. The idea is to avoid incentivizing a destructive practice; unless there is some way of changing your genetic code, the same doesn't apply.
- mdpopescu 11y agoWhy is "I don't want to see X" considered a valid argument?
- gillianseed 11y agoAre you kidding me ? The argument is what follows that statement, how about we discuss that ?
