As for the anything goes cat, anything as in blood doping, steroids, or any other performance enhancement one could come up with. Some people might die. Okay, their choice if they wish to risk it. Would be a more honest event at the least.

Want to guess which winner, clean or anything goes, would get more acclaim, money, publicity, prestige? Okay, we know the answer to that. So make it simple. Stop testing, and make it simply anything goes. Then you have a truly honest event.

Otherwise, everyone is just guessing.
