Steroid Debate: Richard Pound (3 of 14)

Dick Pound. Hahahah oh boy.

Furthermore, this tendency to regulate your behavior off the field is new. The rules used to apply only to how you played the game---not how you trained for it. He speaks about a viscious cycle, what about the threat of a sport so regulated that there is no progress? No improvement? "The endgame will be an activity that is increasingly violent, extreme, and meaningless practiced by a class of chemical, and/or mutant, gladiators." What a fucking moron?

[Hypatia1951]

This man is an idiot. No one, no one with any responsibility, is willing to say, "Let the atheletes do whatever they want."  That is question begging---you are facing opponents who are saying just that and who are clearly responsible. Adding that little line, "no one with any responsiblity", is also an ad hominem, and the whole of his argument is still based on somebody else's dubious authority.

Who cares what someone puts in there body its not you're body so get over it they are capable of making there own choices and making it illegal isn't going to do anything but make more criminals

[s3norshake]

why is he talking about morals and cheating? everyone has a different view on what is wrong and what is right. his whole speech was based on opinion with barely any facts. this guy has a phd but doesn't know that the proper use of cycle support drugs and a pct would seriously minimize and possibly diminish the serious side effects. the only part that's agreeable with is when he says that athletes will increase proper doses to get an extra edge over competitors regardless of their health.

So why is the rules broken all the times? You think its just the athletes using all by their self. Coaches and federations all wants the win and so they give the athlete preformance enhancers.

video down?

[skeptikon]

What a ridiculous guy. Drugs are bad because using them is against the rules, so we shouldn't change the rules because drugs are bad.
