Alernative Olympics with no drugs testing.

bbsrs

I was thinking it would be interesting to see an Olympics style event where there was no drugs testing. How fast could we run, how far could we jump , how much could we lift if we could use anything available to boost our performance. Anyone else think it's a good idea?

Would there be restrictions on extra/fewer limbs etc?

I loved Lee Evans skit on this. He says the triple jump would turn into the hop, skip and where the f**k did he go?

It would end up with countless deaths of the athletes with the human body not been able to take all the countless drugs.

Just look at what drugs do to pro wrestling (Yes its Fake) but the nearly every death in it happens because of drugs its extremely hard to think of a death that wasn't due to drugs of some how in wrestling.

I am one for countless drugs tests in sports as it will stop all the needless deaths because of it

No restrictions except nothing robotic could be added .

Tommy Tiernan said it best: The Drug Olympics.

Seeing lads run 100m in 2 seconds. Athletes representing Pharmaceutical Companies instead of countries. The real challenge for the sprinters would be slowing down before the bend in the track and so on.

Robin Williams also had a brilliant skit about drug use in sports. Imagine golfers on cocaine. It'd be classic!

We're all adults , we make our own decisions and should know the risks .

Olympics woud still be boring as hell even if this was allowed. They'd all just be being boring, but slightly faster.

Give them slash hooks I say.

Captain Don Thorpe

You mean like "The slightly more drugs than we currently use Olympics"?

Pherekydes

They already have a drug-free Olympics. It's called the School sports.

Faster than Carl Lewis and Florence Joyner you mean, those "clean" Olympic heroes?

Nib

Javelin with the Spire.

Sir Arthur Daley

Imagine if the tour de france cyclists did drugs, they would be able to complete the tour quicker than it would take the average cyclist to do the ring of kerry.

Are the Olympic participants disposable athletes like disposable cameras? Does the ideal host country aspire for a sporting ethos like East Germany? Hmm. No thanks

wendell borton

It was called East Germany and the results were good, just not for the athletes.

I don't think it would be much different. Time and time again we see that the most amazing athletes competing turn out to be cheating. Often times it takes years or even decades for them to admit it.

Take the 100m Olympic champs. Take ALL OF THEM from 1984 until now, there have been only TWO that haven't been busted for cheating.

Bailey and Bolt.

You've got people associated with the sport admitting that 'everyone dopes':

And, as we've learned from Lance Armstrong's disgraceful lying, testifying under-oath, and unlawfully suing (and winning) cases against people who were correct in calling him a cheater - it's easy for an athlete to dope for years without ever testing positive.

Banned substances do improve performance. There is no doubt about it. So, we're left with the question of, 'How could clean athletes possibly keep up with dirty ones?'. Right? That's the entire point of banning them in the first place.

Given everything we know, as sad as it is to say, it's far easier to believe that the athletes with untarnished records simply haven't been caught yet. Historically, the numbers certainly back this.

If YOU think you’re still an apt athlete for the alternative Olympics why not watch GTA 5 npc character movies on youtube? They'd be close enough as training aids.

its a game of cat and mouse. The athletes find new ways around the system, the system then takes a few years to develop a test, by which newer ways have been found again.

yohann blake is doping no question. But all we have is his word vs ours at the moment. But certainly i agree in sports where individual athleticism is the winner, you would nearly have to question every winner.

I remember lance armstrong beating all the guys who were knowing dopers and still went about saying he was clean and people believing him.
