I was in science class today talking with my teacher about cells and how they react to outside things when the subject of steroids came up. Which got me wondering why don’t we have a kind of “super” Olympics where all the participants are ENCOURAGED to use performance enhancing drugs, personally I would be MUCH more willing to watch that VS the same stuff we see every 2 years. If I could sit here and watch some guy lift half a ton or so, or watch a runner do the 100m in 9 seconds it would be much more intresting don’t you think?
Imagine how much money the host country would save just by turning the athletes out to graze between meets!
– Zilch
They did this on a bit on the Weekend Update. John Belushi was a weightlifter and pulled both arms out of the sockets going for a record lift.
I believe it was called “The All-Drug Olympics”
Part of the reason the drugs and steroids are banned is because they have very bad affects on the human body if used for an extended time.
This reminds me of the juicers, characters in a certain role-playing game which escapes me. The juicers take drugs which give them incredible abilities but will kill them within a year or two.
Not to Nit-Pick, but I believe it was Phil Hartman who played the weightlifter who ripped his arms out of their sockets while attempting a lift.
Yeah, man. I’m all for an all-drug Olympics. Seeing as how heavy drug use is the only way I might be able to cope with what the Olympics has become…
You may be thinking of Belushi’s “li’l chocolate donuts” sketch back in the era when Bruce Jenner was still a superstar.
Naw, Padeye. Two different sketches. I remember them both.
Forget steroids, I wanna see olympians on LSD!
THAT would be worth watching!
How about Olympians on pot?
The idea is, there’d be an all-night convenience store / pizza place at the finishing line…
