I really think so, yes.
Enhanced Athletics in my view should be a natural branch of sports.
I think its arbitrary that an athlete can legally drink 10 cups of coffee or take 10,000x the RDI of Vitamin B12 but is not allowed to take a steroid that doubles his testosterone.

Without parameters though, athletes will push it to the extreme and until they experience extreme physical side effects.
Might as well bring back gladiators and have them fight to the death for our entertainment.

Riding the tour de france without drugs, up and down mountains in hot summer, a hundred miles a day, that in itself is inherently a demolition derby for the body, it is wholely not healthy, as is being as fast as Usain Bolt is.
If you're wrecking yourself anyway, you might as well have a steroid to aid your recovery.

I mean there are various fighting sports where you are supposed to hit people very hard in the head and sometimes they die.

I totally get it, but even in these sports parameters/rules are implemented for safety. Certain types of "hits" in football are illegal, soccer kicks to a grounded opponent (in some organizations) of MMA. We still draw the line somewhere, and that is part of the rationale for banning steroids.

Understood. But similar to my point above, we still have rules etc. (in part) for athlete safety. Might as well totally extreme leagues where there are no rules, safety equipment etc.

id like to add to this by suggesting that the worst(voilent) criminals be forced to it(no overpopulation of prisons, less money to take care of said prisoners, and quality entertainment) 
Edit: id also bet money that, if implemented, crime rates for said crimes would go waaaay down.

I'm a reasonable fan of cycling and Lance Armstrong is a hero of mine. They should let these guys run themselves to death if they so choose.

Yeah, the LSD baseball players have to be epic, and who knows what other sports might benefit. Or even the ones that fail spectacularly could be awesome and super entertaining.

No it pushes it into the fucked up level. We would have people lit blowing out their bodies. I wanna see top level athletic competition not someone fucking die. It has to be somewhat natural to remain fair and ethical.

You’re assuming nobody knows how to properly implement these PEDs. That’s not going to be the case for the most part. Steroids and shit aren’t magic they’re an aid. You’ll have idiots who go overboard or through ignorance mess up but name one single thing in life where that doesn’t happen.
I’m all for it. I’d be interested in seeing if the injury stats drop significantly.

Sports on steroids isn't fair or ethical in the first place, and that's exactly the reason why so many people would watch it. Sad, but true. I voted yes.

I dunno...one argument I've heard among my fellow boxing fans is that it would actually even the playing field (allowing performance enhancing drugs), since there are undoubtedly people using anyway. And we're talking about two of the most violently brutal sports on earth (boxing, MMA).
Not too long ago, Canelo Alvarez, boxing's current most profitable cash cow, was suspended for like a year for testing positive.
And we've know it's rampant in other sports such as baseball and a host of others. Someone mentioned Lance Armstrong, who is probably the most successful and famous cyclist of all-time.
When you have massive amounts of money on the line for the top athletes of these sports, people are going to use in order to gain an edge. Look at the contracts being handed out in some of these sports.
I'd rather sports be clean across the board in a perfect world but it's not a perfect world.

I wanna see people with bionic bodies in there too. No holds barred ultra-perfomance humans. That shit would be fucking epic.

People are already doing what they’re going to do. Should we make a really for serious this time law on drugs, is that gonna work? I’d argue that professional athletes are the most responsible with PED’s because they’re hella serious about being at peak performance. Joe Nobody at the local gym who is an idiot is already doing what they want. All this is, is making a league of athletes who allow PEDs, that’s all it is.
