[QUOTE=gonzomax]  
If they had 2 olympics ,one clean one steroidal, which one would draw viewers. The one with record breaking performances.

Are you sure? If both events were advertised as such “The Doped Olympics” and “The Clean Olympics”? What’s the basis for your confidence?

My faith in sport fans. It would not be close. I would watch both but thats me. TV flippers make it possible. If forced to chose ,I would watch the one with the better performances. I want world records. I can see the announcer saying ,we just had a runner miss the world record by 4 seconds. What a great feat. But the records are there and most are dirty.
