Do "Performance Enhancing Drugs" Really Matter?
In the discussion about D'Nesh DiSousa's cheating on campaign finances, mia767ca 11 asked the fundamental question: "if you were in nazi germany and the law was that you had to turn in jews, would you follow the law???
The essential standard supporting that question is that your own self-interest supersedes any law, any compact or any contract. But is that the case? If you understand the rules, and agree to participate, are you not committed to those rules?
On a deeper level, what is a "performance-enhancing" drug that a good night's sleep and sound nutrition is not?
Should we limit athletes to some 19th century standard when in fact the 21st century paves the road to super-human performance?
