I mean the idea is different and interesting. But it sends wrong message in that if you want to do something bad, worse to your body with performance enhancers, then there is a place that will welcome you. I think as an experiment it could be fascinating to see as in world records and that if they compared them to that, which they should. But as a year in year out thing? It will wear off quickly as yeah you win but does it count?
Once the novelty has worn off, people will stop watching as they wouldn't want to cheer someone doing something morally illegal in the scheme of sports plus cheering an Aussie to win, when they are not really winning anything will die off.

"Like Ethan Sanders, who after one game people were annointing breakout star of the year. Ever since Round 1 he had a good Round 2 and has been average since.
1 game does not make a player."
"Control the narrative Pops. We knew we were going to debut Apa. We must have known for some time he was on the cusp.
