jon chodroff as a 3?
once the playing field tilts all bets are off.
Playing this out further,
It's very easy for Masters racers to dope with Testosterone, and HGH, (and perhaps other things) with legal prescriptions.
With no testing, the only deterrent to such use is personal ethics, potential health concerns, and cost.
So does a culture of doping starting at the top professional level, and trickling down, errode the sense that it's ethically wrong to dope, and make it more likely the guy next to you in the Masters 45 race is using PED's?
