I don't know how safe these performance enhancers are, but I`m willing to accept that they might have come a long way. However I have doubts regarding a full hands off scenario, where everyone is basically encouraged not just to juice, but also to push the limits on how much their body can take of these substances.

Maybe I'm naive, but at the very least in the current system of sports athletes need to microdose to not get caught, that must certainly help with restraint, right? Though they can still completely juice up kids before their first ever big test / competition.
