What if the major sports allowed doping? - By Daniel Engber - Slate Magazine
I talked about a similar thing in my blog a number of months ago. And while I agree that allowing people to "cheat" would undermine the 'integrity' of the sport, the question this article asks and answers after a fashion is: what if it wasn't illegal (as far as the rules of the game)? If the Steroids and doping etc. weren't illegal per the rules of the game would it really make a difference (other than some changes in the record books)? I think the article at least gives an interesting answer to that question. I'm not saying that they should be legal in general, but it is food for thought.
