Tony,
Very well, since analogies are over your head, I will put it to you in simple direct terms that even you can understand. Juicing trainers are racing horses on the verge of breaking down with painkillers that enable them to dangerously run through the pain which nature designed to save their lives. In other words they are sending out living time bombs, risking the lives of both them and their jockeys. I personally know someone who rescues and adopts retired racers whose bodies and legs have been ravaged by the drug use you so naively defend. I wish you would stop your minimizing the effects of such practices until you see these poor creatures.
Of course any time money is involved, there will always be scum that will stop at nothing for an unfair advantage. How you can conclude from this that any attempt to stop, or at least minimize this, is a mistake is beyond me. But then I forget, you feel you’ve found a way to profit from it, so it’s alright.
Every time a concerned poster calls for something to be done about this you ridicule or vilify them. What’s worse, rather than proposing or supporting a solution you come out against any attempt to stop this immoral activity, you actively oppose any such intervention and arrogantly state that you are “having fun” with the way things are now. By all means, let’s cease all attempts to shut down these bastards since we all know that all that matters is your how much fun you have in cashing in on these evil practices. Shame.
