performance

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.
