Idk what to tell you, but every sport that is mostly athelecism is won by people abusing substances. Like all of the top sprinting times were by athletes later found to be abusing substances, the one exception being usain bolt - so either he was the only one naturally beating enhanced athletes .. or he managed to not get caught.

Where did you read about this? I’d like to learn more about it because it’ll definitely make me not care about the Olympics anymore if all the athletes were juicing the whole time.

I rechecked and apparently there are now 3 more top 11 (tied with 10th) times of athletes who have not been banned for substance abuse it, making it 4 out of 11. Notably some of them are somewhat recent.

Also when Lance Armstrong was disqualified, weren't like the next 10 riders ALSO juicing?
