I dont understand the hatred that is spewed forth about athletes that use Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) especially against cyclists. Perhaps I am too liberal in my views, but how can you blame people for trying to get an edge. What does modern culture tell athletes : WE MUST BE ENTERTAINED, YOU MUST BE BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER . But then when an athlete gets caught using PEDs they get crucified.

Perhaps most people think that meerly injecting themselves with Testosterone Enthanate weekly will turn them into a TDF contender, or Hall of Fame baseball player. There are no miracle elixers, but You can work out harder, and decrease recovery time with PEDs. The drugs do not take away the pain, or the burn, or the ache. It just makes you able to do the same brutal workout again tommorrow, and a little more the next day, and a little more the next day. It doesnt make the weights lighter, it doesnt make the distance you ride shorter, or the mountains any flatter. Like Henry Rollins said "the iron never lies: two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds".

No I am not a troll. I am just tired of the BS about PEDs.
