Olympic games have always been about politics
Lets face facts modern day olympics is a stage for pride in country and who is best. With that come cheating by using performance enhancers. Some would say let athletes use anything they want. Well that may not hurt the current athletic records but what about the men and women who's record they broke that did not use drugs. I say keep drugs out of sports and the playing field will be even. Another pet pive of mine is the use of professional athletes in the olympics. It needs to go back to amatuers. Non-professional in that sport. Use football players in the winter olympics fine, but not pro Basketball Baseball Hockey players in the same sport as the olympic game event. We have taken National Pride to far, let the pure amatuer athlete compete.
