“This is a sideshow to those who compete honestly, fairly, and respect the true spirit of sport. Athletic performance is a pure, special thing and should not be distorted by delusions of ‘science’ and ‘medicine’.

“For each step ahead taken through blank athletes, the athletes competing on this circus take ten steps backwards.”
