That assumptions was naive, and ridiculous.
Also, what worth have anti doping policies - if you follow them, and the others not?
The competition still is distorted, and unfair.
Protection of the health of individual athletes is not really necessary for acchieving that.
Of course, other nations will send massively doped athletes as well.
It's not just the Tour, the Tour just seem to be the tip of the iceberg, imo.
And that'S why I say: stop the hypocricy around sports.
I would like to see doping not only being legalised, but to make it obligatory for every professional athelete. Be honest to the audience, and let every young talent know from the very beginning what he is heading into.

Christ, dude. Here I was going to go down through and respond to all those other statements, and then you blew that one out of the water with the two correct sentences. You know, from time to time, you're fairly locked-on.
"Sports" haven't changed. They are still designed to find the people with the best genetic predisposition. In the 21st century, that will be the people who are most able to tolerate the synthetic drugs and hormones. Eventually this will swing over to bionics and depressed immune systems.
I don't much care, except that some of these......
advances have application to combat infantry. And it's as good a place as any to test new, unapproved drugs that can bypass the screening system. The screening system is important because it forces corporations to develop new drugs and hormones that are not yet detectable. I've no opinion of whether it's right or wrong, other than everyone should simply be aware of the system's functionality and purpose.
However.
I don't care to see the system applied to children, such as the 10 year old gymnists that everyone uses in the Olympics. Professional adult athletes are responsible for their own choices, but bastards need to be executed for pumping stuff into the kids.
