As far as I am concerned, these athletes live in our society
and their morals and behaviour is pretty much influenced by
the community. I am not defending the 'Well everyone else was
doing it!" attitude, but in a sport where new training methods,
new shoes, new materials, new surfaces are quickly absorbed
why not the new pharmacological innovations!? Why do we
distrust so much science and all the sudden we want everyone
to be clean! Despite the fact that the human species was NEVER
'clean'. If 'clean' is the motto, I want to go further, I want
everyone to be bare feet!

I am afraid I grew up in a post-modern society and the 'right, just
and proper' motto has long disappear.

Fair play!? In a 'dog eat dog' world where is the fair play!? Why
athletes should behave differently?

I am a cynic and I have no problems in admitting it. However, I
wasn't born like this...
