Steroids are not the problem. Nobody takes anabolic steroids anymore which is the main term the public understands. Ben Johnson = cheat = steroids. Anabolic steroids are not safe. They fuck you up. Example all the losers at the gym who look like WWE guys. WWE is a major problem. Boys grow up trying to look ripped and pumped, which is almost impossible naturally. Retards that just buy drugs from a gym or Mexico like Giambi are morons. Deca, Nadralone, HGH is all noob shit. You take that and people will ask you if you are retarded. Steroids is the stone age of cheating drugs.
Sports today is all about designer drugs, stimulants, and blood doping now because they are undetectable and they are fairly risk free. Plus anyone who is using seriously has a doctor monitoring them. So ya its cheating but if its safe and you can't get caught is the dillema. You still have to lift the weights and learn technique, but I say this is an advancement in technology. Much like coaching, weightlifting, the fibre glass pole vault, shoes, electronic timers, instant replay. They didn't have this stuff in Ancient Greece.
Trying to do research to cut down on this is impossible. To make a designer drug would cost 100 dollars. The cost to find a unknown drug and test for it would be multi-millions of dollars. So why bother. It is literally a needle in a haystack. Unless you know what you are looking for you would have better luck buying lottery tickets.
The one thing that scares me is genetics. I am scared that some countries like China would do anything to win some at the Beijing Olympics as some sort of show of world domination. I think they are crazy enough to create some genetically enhanced athletes and train them in their sweatshops. It's crazy but if you have an unlimited budget and a Gestapo government that steals information anything could happen. I also think that the US public values fair play even though a lot of its athletes cheat, but other countries do not. China's agenda is win and I don't think the people have a say in fair play. I mean how come all of a sudden they have 3 basketball players taller than 7 feet tall and Yao Ming is still growing. Genetic enhancement is impossible to detect and enforce.
