The only remedy I see is to make the penalty for use, harsh enough that it is just not worth getting caught. But then you run into the mistakes, contamination of food, false positives,etc. then guys are getting banned for life who really dont deserve it.
Maybee a 3 strikes aproach to a life time ban. with suspension penaltys for the first 2 , say 6 mos. for #1, a year for #2, and life for # 3. I doubt that even this would completely stop the ped use, there are always people who think they can beat the system no matter how sophisticated it is.
I dont know, it is a problem.
I just cant see opening the flood gates and completely deregulating ped use. Those guys would be dropping like flies. To much envelope pushing. dead athleates aren't good for any sport. I just think that deregulating the ped's is a sure way to make a bad problem much, much worse.
Like the man said, its a problem.
