RE: The Sporting Taboo - Is Using Performance Enhancing Drugs Really Cheating?
I agree that it if we truly think about it nothing in life is fair, including athletic competitions. Your assertion is worthy of discussion. On a tangent, an example comes to mind "Formula 1" where the racing stables differ in terms of performance levels of their respective cars offered to pilots. Fair we say?
Great post! waiting to hear some other inputs.
Thank you. Yes formula 1 is an interesting example.
It's true in Formula1 that under "normal" conditions it's almost everytime the same cars arriving in Let's say Top 6. Still I remember (and there some more examples) the Race in Brasil in the rain from last year where this Dutch guy called Max Verstappen teached the "settled"drivers a real lesson. (and i'm not saying this because i'm Dutch too, besides that a fan of Ferrari).
It does happen yes from time to time and usually better pilots will end up in better stables. But sometimes it is hard to prove yourself if you are almost always starting with a clear disadvantage. Fairness is quasi impossible to achieve, in my opinion. It has been a long time since I stopped following F1, makes me want to get back into it. Thanks for your input!
