There is no baseball "as you know it", without drugs....no football "as you know it" without drugs...and on and on...
Drugs had no bearing on the Olympic push...judging and lack of criteria did. If there is a test, then yu have to pass it...plain and simple. Just like every other Olympic sport.
Stop posting like you know what you're talking about
It's absolutely ridiculous that you maintain that those sports have just as much drug use as bodybuilding. To compete successfully in the bodybuilding
teen nationals requires drugs, often quite heavy use too. I don't know what kind of leagues talented kids playing baseball play in but are they just as likely to feel the need to do elaborate cycles of all kinds of different drugs just to have a shot in doing well? I really doubt it. Have the best teens playing baseball pee in a cup and then have the best NPC teen bodybuilders do the same - same percentage of positives in both sports?
Say you have a 16 year old son and he comes home from the gym one day and says a former pro bb has taken him under his wing and says with his help he has a shot at the teen nationals title. Any dad who knows the sport is going to think, "who the hell is this bb - stay the fuck away from my kid!"
Same kid is playing baseball and doing well and you'd have the same worry as to what he will feel is required to play the sport successfully? The recent teen winner lived with Eric Fromm - certainly a nightmare scenario if it was my kid.
Bodybuilding = drug use isn't mostly in the pros and isn't just in the off-season before the in-season drug testing starts but is there from the start.
I don't follow baseball and am not in the US but isn't there now lots of drug testing after all the scandals? I suspect the sport will live on (won't be completely clean of course, like any sport, but state-of-the-art drug testing does curtail use a great deal). Try the same in bodybuilding and let's see what happens.
