The only reason it is deemed abuse is because it is prohibited by the governing bodies, I was referring to the actual dosages etc people take. With regards to drugs distorting sports are you referring to people being enhanced by drugs? because diet can also improve performance but because it is not prohibited it's acceptable. before you say it doesn't make that much of a difference, the difference between novak djokovic on a gluten free diet for me and many others is massive.

Would you ban beta blockers in say.... snooker?

If we are saying people who are "enhanced" should be considered cheats then tiger woods should be banned from playing golf.... but he isn't. Risking people's health is a moot point as performance enhancing drugs can be used safely.

"Drug use in sports is dependent on access and money," - That would also be applicable to equipment and facilities at a young age

Para 1. Food is natural, drugs are not.
Para 2. Beta blockers are banned in snooker, obvious reasons.
Para 3. If Mr Woods tested positive for banned drugs under golf/WADA rules, he should get a suspension. Performance enhancing drugs are never totally safe. The statement is nonsense.
Para 4. Not necessarily, unscrupulous coaches can support their "talent". This is not comparable to access to good equipment or facilities. All that does is open opportunity. Success still takes talent and a lot of hard work.
I guess this must be a statement designed to provoke comment, because I cannot believe that anyone is actually saying performance enhancing drug use is OK.
It's not. It stinks.

How do you know it says anything on the back of his shirt?

Another enigma is Nadal and his supposed 'dodgy knees'. I thought it was injury which means he will not win another grand slam, yet other do not think the same.

Anytime anyone is injured in football I wonder if they are quietly serving a doping ban.
It seems the same thought pattern applies to tennis.

Seems Murray next plays a guy, who after 5 ok blood tests suddenly decided he was not having a post match test because of a phobia!!!

Murray and others have long been critical of the lax anti-doping regime in tennis.

Have to say, I can't help feeling suspicious of Djokovic's almost ludicrous endurance levels. I'm not sure a gluten free diet is that beneficial. If @Marmion watched tennis I think the Witchfinder General's nose, fingers and everything else would be twitching.

I raised that point in this very thread, some time ago when I saw a newspaper report about the Djokovic diet miracle. It's possible of course but definitely questionable.
