Watching sports is almost always better than watching anything else, but I can't say I have a huge interest in the games. I just can't help feeling that it's a little silly watching them to see who the greatest athlete in the world is when I am far too skeptical to believe that performance enhancements aren't taking place that really make these people into much more than what a human really could achieve naturally.
Part of me thinks it should just be acceptable to dope as much as you'd like and we could have a 'Freak Show Olympics" to see the real peak of what we can do when we set our minds to it and dedicate a whole tonne of resources. Really, for the most high profile events that is basically what's going on anyways. Why not just let it go unbound?
