But when this cheating comes to my start lines I think we should be taking a stand and rid ourselves of pre-meditated, clearly "Tier 1" doping with life bans. By tier 1 I refer to blood boosting, HGH etc. clear intended PEDs. Especially in these, I will call more educated times in sport. Ie: post Barry Bonds, Lance etc where public far more aware of the cheating.
You either care about clean sport or you don't.
I have a poem for you:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Prime example of "I don't give a damn about anything until it affects me" attitude.

I don't think sports and people ending up in gas chambers are quite on the same scale. It seems a touch disrespectful to compare the two.
For those scoring at home, Godwin's Law was evolked on the ninth post. Not bad.
Find out what it is in life that you don't do well, then don't
do that thing.
