drug taking in sport

[Mud]

I think Mud picked on a poor example with Paula Radcliffe. Asthma Medicine gave her a chance to compete.

I think it works quite well, actually. Why do we say that athletics must be absolutely pure, but then allow some people to medically enhance bits of themselves which would otherwise limit performance?

I'm not saying "ban Paula". I'm simply thinking about why we think about sporting excellence in the way we do.

Forget the .... class issue

Is that in your head..?
