What The Fark 6: FARK OFF!

So it looks like ‘88 Seoul was more a pharmaceutical convention than sporting event.

I pretty much assume any track and field world record set between 1970 and 2000 involves drugs unless there's good evidence to believe otherwise (like Hicham El Guerrouj).

Why stop in 2000?

That’s about the time they finally got serious with testing out of competition and pretty much everyone from that era who was obviously doping got caught eventually.

My guide is as follows:

70’s, 80’s: I assume anyone from this era used some sort of doping, presumably steroids with a smattering of blood doping. Granted, I don’t assume everyone knowingly doped but governments and organizers were happy to help and cover up (looks at East Bloc and the US).

90’s: I don’t think everyone necessarily doped because the government/organizer pressure and assistance was gone by this time but, I do generally assume the majority used something to assist.

That’s about the time the best drugs got good enough to evade detection, so now only morons get caught.

Fixed.

[Jimjamesak]

Fixed.

Ok boomer.

[Kepler]

Ok boomer.

That doesn't make sense in this context.

It's actually the fat old flag wavers who think, like you, that drugs were East Germany and now that good ol' Americans are winning it's obviously all above board.

The truth is obvious: everyone is always cheating, so when you have periods in which there are fewer scandals it's not a reduction of cheating, it's that oversight has either fallen behind or has been captured.

Actually it does because you think people only use drugs to gain an advantage.

You can gain more from using a high speed camera to adjust mechanics than any pharmaceutical.

I'm with you. Detection always lags creation and use.

[Kepler]

I feel funny.

I assume this is getting at how someone can consent to sex with a condom but that consent doesn't necessarily mean that person consents to sex without.

That's perfectly reasonable.

As long as that’s what it means. There have been us judges that said a woman begging a man to use a condom during a rape meant it wasn’t a rape

I....wasn't mentally prepared for that. Jesus.

Actually i think it was a Canadian judge and I think he was run out of town after.
there was also a grand jury in Texas early 90s who refused to indict a guy who raped a woman for an hour at knifepoint after she begged him to use a condom

Vigilante justice is alive and well

After the Brazilian government permitted the killing of motor cycle riders who rob & kill citizens - in order to put an end to this menace, this is what the citizens there are doing!!!
