Why? The racers do it for $$$ and ego, they know the risks. If it is that bad, let them self-insure
with life insurance. Millions of such policies are spammed over the Internet every day.

People take recreational drugs that are arguably more dangerous to one's health for no $$$ at all
(it costs them $$$) for the "widows and orphans". Why should the performance-enhancing drug takers
be given favorable treatment?

Once it's allowed, it ain't doping.
