I would like to see random drug tests conducted on our politicians. I'm sure they all take performance enhancing drugs.

Cheats have been with us ever since that sneaky little David defeated the Philistine Champion Goliath with his secret weapon. But that's not how the story was told to us at school is it, David was lauded for his cunning. Small wonder we still have cheats today.

The answer is simple: create drug leagues, drug Olympics, Grand Drug Slams.

Let people eat, inject, or graft onto themselves anything they like to enhance performance. Let's take the training wheels off and see what these bodies can do when they're pushed to the limit.

If athletes want to consume steroids on their cornflakes and die of heart attacks at 35, let them. It would be entertaining and give some legitimacy to non-drug-ridden sports.

There will always be cheats in sport as there are in other forms of life. The difference with professional sport is that athlete's careers live and die by their results. They stand to lose sponsorship, prize money, places in teams and prestige if they don't get results. The officials need to keep drug cheats out the same as they stamp out other forms of cheating.

The idea of having 'separate' sports for drug users will never work because who would stop drug cheats from still competing in the 'non drug' sports

Drug cheats have to be booted out of sport so that those athletes playing by the rules are not being robbed of success. It is important also that sport not just be clean, but that the public perceives it to be clean. As a result, the sporting world will be watching with keen interest the case of the two Pakistani star cricketers. Hopefully, Dick Pound will be as outspoken about them as he was about developments surrounding Shane Warne a few years ago when the gifted but foolish legspinner was ultimately suspended for 12 months for taking drugs his disciplinary tribunal accepted could only have been detrimental to his performance.
