That's bullshit. That's giving in to drug cheats. It shouldn't happen. People wouldn't get to use the same things, only the athletes who train in countries with effective scientific R and D who can keep them ahead of the competition. Then it becomes a race to see who has the best pharmacologist, not the best athletes.

There is a difference between performance enhancers and food supplements, also. Protein is not a drug. A drug is something which artificially alters your physiology, either acting to by-pass biochemical control or to suppress normal physiological processes.
