My Prediction on Steroids
Steroids
I don't think Steroids should stop being looked down upon. Yes it should be just what it is because Steroids is a thing that some people use to get buff. For Example: Professional Wrestlers need to sometimes get buff so that they are getting paid to do so. I don't think there is anything wrong with people in sports to use steroids but for you to say They are always signs of cheating
they can be kind of bad even though there are players that don't use steroids to get there.
Bodybuilding Steroids
Well for it to make you big is kind of death when people use too many Steroids to get big and its definitely from all the pressure they're in.Well it isn't that great for them to use Steroids anyway. Besides they've got better things to do than take Steroids. True, players are always need to be the best like in the NBA on Chicago Bulls for example, they have a big player named Joakim Noah that is always on defense.
They do kind of deserve it since they can win one for the team or so. I think Steroids isn't much of a thing that everyone needs to use either way.

Those 9.77s for 100m sprint does not really mean anything in se. It's just a number. What matters is that number compared to other people. To reach these astronomically good lap times, you need to train hard and devote your life to the sport. If a substance exists that drastically reduces the effort necessary to reach a <10s lap time, and is widely used, then a <10s lap time instantly loses a lot of its value.
Do we have segregation based on diet? Training? Shoes? I think it's pointless to say "nothing else matters but drugs". Like I said before, can an average Joe who pops some steroids become a world-class athlete? Of course not.
And like I said before, the current training methods are anything but natural... I think you are injecting biased words into the discussion.

Not sure if diet and equipment will have an impact on progression equal to use of steroids.

Is it simply a question of impact? If so, and I know I've been saying this a few times, training is much more important than roids.

What do you think athletes do to get better? They push themselves farther and harder to go faster or be stronger. It's the same thing we've been doing for hundreds of years to stay alive.
If you want to say that hard work is unnatural, i'd say that saying that is unnatural considering how we've survived for centuries by training the exact same way. the only difference between us and cavemen is that we've developed more sophisticated ways of training.
