Fails to see the problem.......
Sports, especially major professional sports, are an entertainment industry. Do we refuse to watch attractive actors and actresses because they've havd plastic surgery or botox? So why does it affect "integrity of sport" somehow if an athlete takes particular drugs when everything ELSE about them - education, diet, upbringing - is a highly artificial regimen designed to make them excel at sport. Professional athletes haven't been just like you and me for decades.
If someone feels that a Barry Bonds homerun would be more entertaining if he had a certificate of no artificial substances in his body, please explain why.
