Being ok with dirty sport is like being ok with a country that only pretends to be a democracy. But if you come from the US today you probably are.
My favorite part about you as a poster here is the ironic aspect. No other poster on this board goes on about the alleged ubiquity of doping with your metronomic, dry fervor.
But as a result of your peculiar way of delivering the message, no other poster has served to decrease interest in doping on this site more than you have. There's no special insight. You are the man who looks up at the sky in the rainforest, and solemnly declares that it's going to rain today.
When everyone is a doper, it doesn't matter any more. It might as well be that nobody is a doper. When the person telling us everybody is a doper keeps coming back for more, religiously following the results of each heavily doped race, it tells us that it doesn't even matter to him all that much.
I have no idea if your irony is self aware or not, but I hope you never change.
Sha’Carri’s 10.65 is tied for the 2nd fastest all time of races with a headwind.
She's close to Flojo's level. We're heading back into the 1980's. Of course.
I really don’t know who is doping and who isn’t. I’m sure it’s a mix. But what it really shows us how absolutely doped Flo Jo was, given the fact that with all of today’s modern training, nutrition, etc. they still are not to where Flo Jo’s level was way back in the 80s. Kersee is one heck of a coach/apothecary

How do you measure a "decrease in the interest in doping"? By your own purely subjective response? I see plenty of threads here about doping and many comments about doping on non-doping threads. The subject has hardly gone away since I have taken it up.
However, I don't expect to change minds. I don't even care if I do or I don't. But the response I typically get shows my views don't go unnoticed. It is enough for me to simply point out the sport is like the emperor's new clothes - it isn't what it pretends to be.
In response to one of your other observations, it takes no special insight to point these things out, merely to see what is in front of one's face. But it is telling how difficult that is for those who don't wish to see.
You are right about one thing: because of doping the sport doesn't matter to me anymore. But that is why many of the fans here cannot afford to agree with what I say; it would end their passion for the sport.
I don't agree with you that if everybody is doping or if I say every race is doped that doping therefore doesn't matter anymore. I detest doping; that response isn't reduced by its ubiquity, but is fuelled by it.
We have a clear choice: we either reject doped sport, or we embrace it. There is no middle-ground. My oft-irritating posts are a constant reminder to others of that choice. There is no irony in that.

Your post is several levels higher than the usual bar-room response I receive. It makes an interesting change. So I took it more seriously and responded accordingly, notwithstanding the element of mockery in your comments. I don't mind amusing others.

THE BEST OF ALL JUICES SHE BE TAKING
100%
Elaine Thompson’s improvement in the 200m was arguably even worse. 23.23 to 21.66
in one year. Steven Francis and his Jamaican dope queens are a plague on the sport. Even though I don’t like Sha’Carri it was satisfying to see Francis’s dope squad denied another dirty Gold medal.
