If you achieve something by cheating, then you have achieved nothing. If you tell yourself this is ok, then you are lying to yourself and everyone who follows your achievements and aspires to be what you have become. If you justify this because everyone else is cheating, then you are even weaker than someone who cheats because they feel it is the only way that they can compete. I can only hope, that every time I see a cyclist achieve something great during a race, its not because they are doped. That is a pretty sad endorsment for a sport. Note the use of the word sport. Anyway, that's my ten penneth !

No never. its as simple as that. I have only got to the point where i am because of my training and my own strength. If thats as far as i could possibly go then that is it. No second thoughts nothing. I think that long distance running would have to be one of the cleanest endurance events of them all. Have you seen the way those guys suffer at the end of the race!
If everyone does it, I would. If only a few does it, I wouldn't. If the majority cheats, I wouldn't. Maybe if I got desperate, I would. It's hard to tell.
