doping

I was lucky enought to see this movie in the theater. I walked out that night totally stunned and overwhelmed. There were so many parts of that movie that had relevance to me. Hehe, the first few times I saw that movie I took it very seriously. Now, of course it fills the entertainment void and has a few good laughs. You probably don't know where I am going with this...You remember the scene behind the bar? The first fight?

Doping is an unfair advantage whether it’s Jan Ullrick or Barry Bonds, the Tour de France or The Baseball Hall of Fame. From my point of view, the evil is not in the banned performance-enhancing substances or techniques but rather the sly, underhanded shroud of advantage the doping athlete has over those that pursue sports cleanly. The line between cheating and gaining a competitive advantage in pursuit of that all-important goal, victory, is at best blurry.
