For a while, some schools across the country were banning spelling bees. For obvious reasons, of course - steroids
If you're taking performance-enhancing drugs and you get caught, in my mind, you should be banned for life.
Drugs won't enhance your performance.
I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled.
If athletes are found to have taken performance enhancing drugs, then they should be banned for two years, even if they are British.
I have never taken any substance to enhance my performance.
Twenty-plus-year career, 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.
