The thing that is confusing to me in this article is the apparent lumping together of all peptides. My understanding is that peptides and proteins are the same thing (strings of amino acids) but with peptides having strings of less than 100 and proteins of 100 or more. I am guessing there must be thousands of different peptides in the food we eat all the time. So there are only a subset of peptides that would be considered PEDs. I think some (or all) hormones are peptides -- is that correct? Can someone that understands this straighten me out?

I agree with this

I would love it if some hacker got that list and put it up somewhere. And it seems from the article that it was primarily sprint and power sports, at least what they mentioned. Football, Track, weight lifting, etc. Somewhat encouraged that not one mention of an individual endurance sport was flagged, at least something kind of positive I guess.

And we care about these:

discus throwers to sprinters to pole-vaulters to weight lifters to wrestlers.

Actually tylenol will kill you over a week or two of liver failure. And it would be a miserable way to die. Fortunately I have yet to see it happen in a patient. I guess my point is if there is some peptide in the bottle I'm not worried about my health but what if there is something else harmful in there. I had a patient on ventilator for over a week last year after smoking dope and they never did figure out what it was contaminated with.

For me, that's the case for legalising/regulating drugs right there. Quality control, gets rid of the contaminants that cause all the ODs, cuts out the criminal black market, increase tax revenue, makes the issue one of public health rather than emergency services / courts/ jails

Sure we do. The faster someone rides or runs, the higher they jump, the more endurance they have, the more records that they break the more interest we collectively have in them and the more adulation they receive.

at least something kind of positive I guess.
