A quixotic enterprise backed by investors including oligarch Peter Thiel seeks to end discrimination against "brave" and oppressed steroid users.

    Gonna see a lot of these athletes drop dead super early. But thats okay, because a Billionaire already got to see them compete. Gross.

      You’d think watching a bit of Wrestling would give them their “steroids and early death” fix.

      Just like the good old days of the Roman empire.

    Steroids should be mandatory.

    But really, shitload of athletes already use peds. Look at the tour de France. Some years you have to go past the top 10 to find the first guy whose title wasn’t stripped for doping. Crazy billionaire wants to make a dedicated doping league? Sure, genuinely don’t care enough to fight it. We can’t even keep regular football players’ brains from turning to mush, why not say fuck it and turn the dial to 12.

    It’s been a joke for easily 30 years. It still is one.

    Honestly, it would make sense to have a new category for drug assisted athletes. Those who want to stay clean can do so in the Olympics without the pressure to join the winners who everybody knows are taking drugs.
