Of course you are
Marion Jones has loudly proclaimed her innocence after testing positive for EPO at the US championships. Big surprise there, huh? When was the last time that somebody got busted and said "It's a fair cop Guv, society is to blame."?
I don't think that there are many international athletic events these days whose outcomes aren't influenced by performance enhancimg drugs. Probably swimming is cleaner than other sports - for two reasons, it is more technique driven than other sports and therefore less likely to be won by pure athleticism. Secondly, I used to do a little bit of swimming coaching so therefore it must be clean because I would have absolutely nothing to do with drugs. Right, Marion? (How is Tim going these days?)
It's got to the stage where they should just let people take whatever the fuck they want and just get on with it. Those people who don't want tiny testicles, sterility or to end up like Flo-Jo can have their own separate 'clean' competitions, just like bodybuilders do.
Then again, using bodybuilders as an example is hardly persuasive, is it? What a bunch of strange cunts.
P.S. Marion is still a hotty, even if she is a drug cheat with a really big butt. At least you can still crack walnuts on her glutes.

Now the verion I saw had MJ saying she was 'shocked to fail a drug test' (or words to that effect)and call for the speediest analysis of the B sample - and me hearing "Poor me, he promised I wouldn't get caught." At least with what balls he has left Gatlin's put his hands up (sort of).
og,
you could try setting up a stall at Mardi Gras and see if there are any takers.
Anan,
wasn't that some sort of plea bargain thingy?
Let's suppose you're a rich American or Australian athlete. You have a university scholarship. You have a coach and excellent training facilities. You eat steak, eggs, pasta, health drinks, fresh fruit. Your body is honed by a masseur. You're in a race with a kid from an African township who grew up in poverty, walked to school each day - barefoot. He eats bowls of mealie and his sisters died of AIDS. How's that disparity different from gaining advantage via drugs? I don't get it.
"At least you can still crack walnuts on her glutes"
That's some muscle control...
But I once saw a stripper in a bar in Oklahoma who if you tipped her a dollar she'd give you 50 cents' change... one quarter at a time.
Now there's muscle control. I was in love.
Pud,
I don't really buy into the whole First World versus Third World argument in sport - look at Brazil in the World Cup. Also, most third world athletes with potential are on scholarships in First World countries, anyway.
Ranger,
noice..., very classy. I knew a girl who could light cigarettes.
