I say if everyone is doing it, then the playing field is level and there is no inherent advantage. The way it's currently being policed is creating the unfair advantage thus the scandal. Just let them dope and be open and honest.
You see it in gym culture too, where we have all these lifting influencers who claim they are 100% natural, meanwhile taking $10,000s of thousands of dollars worth of HGH and testosterone every month. Boggles my mind.
....but you can´t, because we have seen the physical and mental damage done by the excessive cold war doping. You simply cannot legalize PEDs. Making it illegal, despite a silent acceptance, at least guarantees some lid at the top. It drives up prices and carries some professional career risks for doctors. Imagine if poor parents had cheap and unlimited access to bad PEDs or even ambitious kids themselves. I know it´s the popular idea to legalize it, cause everybody does it anyway, but it´s not the answer. Doesn´t matter if you age restrict it either. How many kids wait till they are of legal drinking age? They´ll find a way.
