What a world we live in. I'm still a supporter of a second "anything goes" Olympics. I want to see a skiir absolutely frothed at the mouth with drugs, sporting a bulge that would make Rasputin blush, flying through the air like a fucking peregrine

There'd be dead people at every competition. The whole thing would be little more than gladiator games. Is that really what you want?

I mean kinda yeah. People destroy their bodies and minds for trivial stuff all the time. If someone wants to blow their heart up for glory that's their perogative. I've chosen long term emotional damage to be in the game industry. To each their own what tradeoffs they want in life and a lot of Olympians clearly are in the obliterate body camp so I say let them it's their body

In the early days of EPO use in cycling, young riders would die in their sleep because of their low heart rate and so many red blood cells their blood turned to sludge.

And we already forget how Lance Armstrong gave himself cancer while millions wore yellow rubber bands.

That sounds fucking awesome.

I always thought sports would be more fun if we really let them test the limits of the human body.

Is it like having a rudder to steer better with?

No, the article says the rules afford suit material based on factors including 3D modeling of their crotch (not joking). Some athletes are injecting hyaluronic acid to temporarily bulk up their bulges during measurement to gain more suit material and potentially lift, like a flying squirrel.
