You know what I mean?

Like otherwise, like every world record would have been broken.

Right, right.

And so you can have two perspectives on this.

Or-

the argument that a lot of people are making is, well, this just proves that everybody at the Olympics is using them.

Otherwise they're already using them.

Otherwise like all these world records would have been broken.

I don't think that's the case.

And I'm not saying that like, you know, all sport is clean.

There's plenty of people that are using performance enhancing drugs at the highest level.

But I think it's quite the overstatement to say that like everybody's using them or that it's like,

Well, I have a retort to this.

First of all, money talks.

And this was the first year.

And there's a lot of...

starving olympic athletes out there and maybe watching that or just being aware that that happened last weekend is going to lodge into their brains and they're going to think well i could go to olympic trials and maybe make the team i'm never going to get a gold medal maybe i can make the final

Why don't I just go over here and maybe I can win a million dollars instead?

So there's going to be that incentive structure now in place that's going to influence and funnel more athletes year after year into this world.
