I was reading today that an Olympic athlete had a medal stripped from them because they found steroids in their system. This seems like an ongoing problem that never ceases to end. In every Olympic event the contestants all have to go through testing to make sure that they don't have an advantage over anyone else. Why not have a steroid Olympics for those that want to use it?
Obviously this type of event would not be part of the regular "drug free" Olympics, but instead a new sporting event for the abusers of steroids. Putting the pro drug user issues aside, I think it would be quite an interesting showing.
I don't watch the olympics currently, I have seen what it is all about and I don't really care much for that sort of entertainment. I might, however, watch the steroid olympics because you would really see the depths of how far a human body could be pushed.
I envision the 500 meter dash with people on steroids with tiny upper bodies and huge legs all lining up at the starting line, sweating profusely because their adrenaline is already pumping like crazy through their body. Then as the gun fired, it would seem as though they all magically appeared at the finish line, with only a blur from start to finish.
The weight lifting event could be equally spectacular as you see deformed monsters that used to be people, lifting the equivalent of small cars welded to a steel rod and hoisting them above their head for three seconds. The gymnastics events would seem like something out of a fantasy movie that employed high end CG technology.
The injuries would be quite spectacular as well, a broken ankle couldn't even hold a candle to someone who simply exploded halfway through the thousand meter run. I imagine some good brawls would be started due to the emotional degeneration and unstable frame of mind the participants would be in.
The entertainment value would be spectacular, if not a little horrifying at the same time. I am pretty sure that it would definitely hold a person's attention if they were to watch, The Steroid Olympics.
