Quick Take (Summary)
Ah, the classic tale of human fallibility meets the quest for excellence, with just a touch of moral panic.

After all, a balanced approach to such issues ensures the purity of the sport while acknowledging the pressures athletes face, rather than succumbing to the hysteria of purists or the indifference of cynics.
