My body, my choice AND unfair play :)

I am in favor of letting athletes do what they want but I am also pretty convinced this is not "fair" anymore and whoever enters that game better understand that "training" is probably not the way you win anymore.

I think that's incorrect about training.  Raw strength is only going to get you so far, a mastered technique gives efficiencies beyond that.  In every event, you're not going to see Rich Piana size dudes and women competing.  At some point added bulk is going to be a detriment to performance.

The recovery is what's going to be fascinating.  Take primo and deca, you feel like a totally new animal day to day.  You can max lift, sleep, max lift again.  Now imagine how much more you can excel at something physically difficult/taxing if you double or triple the time spent refining it.

This is a good point. Size comes with drawbacks. And the drugs only work if you do
