With athletes risking all to cheat, I ask you: Why not have a seperate competition for low down dirty steroid using cheats?

You could have guys running at sixty mph, roadrunner style. Jacked up athletes jumping twenty yards in the high jump. High divers performing a dozen spins. Weightlifters lifting car engines. Medal winners collapsing from heart failure on the podium.

I say, if people want to abuse their bodies for our respect, let them. No-one really passes any remarks about the amount of steroids wrestlers pump into themselves for our sake (OK, currently there seems to be a bit of an uproar, but nothing was said for years).

Think of the merchandise oppurtunities for nike and reebok! Man-bra’s! Adams apple covers for the ladies!

Would this ever be considered?

The unlimited category:

“Oh my god ladies in gentlemen, he has got his blood in a jar and he is mixing it with equal parts of liquid oxygen. He is putting it back in. This is going to be something to see. I don’t think I have ever seen a crotch that small. This is going to be some race”.

“Oops, he’s dead. Now over to horseback riding.”

There was a funny bit on SNL in the Phil Hartman era where they did an all-drug Olympics.
