Justin Gatlin, drug cheat or one of the world’s greatest modern day sprinters? : Comments

By Chris Lewis, published 10/8/2017

I don’t believe that any athlete should be booed after serving a drug ban and being allowed by the relevant sporting organisation to compete again.

Drug cheats need to be banned for life and their sport related income treated as the proceeds of crime!

If it can be seized, meaning, there's no financial reward, ever!? Some of this might stop, instead of just staying ahead of the testing and knowing when to retire?

State sponsored doping should result in a decade of exile from all cross border/international competition!

Getting the international sport administrations to agree not as easy as it looks and certainly not as easy as herding cats, given vested interest!?

Failing that we should join them with absolutely undetectable, permanent and inheritable lab sourced genetic (mind and body) improvement! And by all accounts, where we already excel?

I don't know Alan B, maybe you're being a little harsh...
If people born as men can compete as women surely we can find some way to accommodate, it just wouldn't be liberal or progressive in this day and age to deny them?
Why not just have a 'Super Mutants Olympics'
Then they can use all the drugs they want free from the guilt and shame they have to endure now...
That way we can actually encourage them to use more drugs if that's what they like to do?

Sport is not about the actual sport or the place the team is named anymore, players are imported like mercenaries, and its all about political correctness, being family orientated (I'm surprised they still allow tackling in footy) and for the sake of spectators, corporate sponsors and big money...
