you will never have a fair competition because all people are born different - people have differing testosterone levels, differing body builds, differing muscles mass, etc. most competitive sports are plagued with doping because hard work only takes you so far before your body hits its limit.

just let the olympics and shit be a showcase and celebration of what humans can accomplish, fuck it make doping legal as well, i wanna see how wild humans can get

    At the lower levels sure. But in Australia doping is pretty extensive in the upper high school levels, especially since many Olympians are competing while still in school (Ian Thorpe (who probably didn't dope) started with the Australian team at 14). Not so much in Football and Rugby, but its growing too.
