Athletes are willing to inject substances that give them a slight edge in performance, but also radically change their emotions, damage their bodies, impair their reproductive potential, and cut years or even decades off their lives. And, they are willing to do this even though they go into it with the previous knowledge, every legitimate governing body in sports is testing for those substances, and if discovered they can have their careers and reputations destroyed.
You don't think they would do something like this if they can get away with it?
