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 am questioning the longevity impetus too
Bro science works because of high openness and the discoveries are adjacent to performance related pursuits, almost in spite of them
Setting up a system where players are going to extremes to be competitive, does that really get us health insights. idk...

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.
