    The shadiness of the leaders aside, I’ve always thought that, with how prevalent PEDs are in competitive sports despite all the restrictions, it would be interesting to see how far humans can go if all restrictions are lifted

      Without any limitations, poor athletes may permanently disable themselves or shorten their lives by taking dangerous substances in the interest of immediate fame/recognition/earnings. Is that ethical? I don’t know.
