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. Plus i know when the Olympics are on mid year, my school will be promoting the Aussies like we did the Matilda's. We wouldn't for this obviously, so there goes a certain fan base automatically.
For me, i couldn't care less. I am in the belief of if you know what the effects are on your body and health and want to keep going? That is on you. I eat and drink a tad bit unhealthy, i know it is bad but i also enjoy it, but i wont blame anyone for my health issues either. If they want to participate and are not doing anything illegal per say then go for it, not harming any of us.

If they’re ok to use for monetary sports reasons then they’re ok to use for the average Joe who wants to look like a Leb at a festival or plastic gangster bikie too.
"Absolutely, Mitchy. Pay, Dymock, Smith, McCracken—The Big Four—added class and steel. And without the SL war, they don't happen for us. IMO, without Walsh, who saved more tries than he scored, the Broncos probably don't win the 2025 GF."
"This is good for Iongi. May a far more high profile player; portaryed as 'violated', will hog the headlines and the NRL will need to be fair to he and Iongi when assessing any potential NRL sanctions. "
"Agreed, I also think when B Smith had that team in the 98 era (Pay / McCracken / Smith / Dymock) plus some others we had the steel; it was when they left for me that we softened a tad. I was at the minor semi againts Norths at Parra when we belted…"
"Mitchy, for as long as I've watched the Eels over 46 years, outside the amazing 80s, I felt we had a soft underbelly that would crack when enough of a "blow torch" was applied.
Ryles has given me hope that maybe, just maybe, (can I say maybe once…"
