All out!

Well let me start this blog post with an experience I just had a week ago. I met this guy from a club and we got friends. He was a former model and he admitted to me that he was taking drugs to get the body he wanted in order to reach his goal in modeling. Well... I think modeling is kind of a sport too- you live from it. It is your job and that is where you get your money from. Athletics is like Hollywood it is an entertainment industry. You have to pay a lot of money to get into a famous show in Hollywood and it is just like in athletics competitions. It is a lot of money to get a ticket to one of the famous sport events. This is a job! It is hard to admit but that is the truth. The only difference in Hollywood and in the life of the stars is that it is legal to them to take performance enhancement drugs to reach their goal but it is illegal to take drugs as an athlete. My only question is, why is that? It is the same thing, it is a job, it is your life. In Hollywood you take drugs to be better than the other actress. To get certain jobs and to be better looking than the another person so you can get the photo shoot. They compete against each other and in that industry everyone takes some kind of drug to be better looking than others. The only difference between the Hollywood race and an athletic race is that in Hollywood it is allowed to take the drugs and everyone is aware of it. How come a 17 year old kid can grow muscles like a 25 year old.

Well obvious he took something to enhance his body, and obviously he was working out crazy, but still... one industry is just like another. Athletics is an entertainment industry as well as  Hollywood. Athletes are paid to look good and give performance like no other. In athletics it is banned to take any kind of drug- even though most of the well known athletes take it anyway- to be better than others.What is the difference between the two industry? I say nothing! So I'm asking how can I compete with all these people who are genetically modified and drugged from the beginning. I feel that to be good in athletics you can't be "clean". You must take something extra into your body to get those results. In competitions you get tested for all kinds of drugs. It is only a manner of luck to get caught in athletics. Everything is banned and I mean everything! you can not take a cold medication without consulting your doctor about its ingredients. It is ridiculous! I feel that the world of sports try to push the button on being clean and perform without drugs but it is just not happening. It will always be drug in the athletics even though WADA tries to fight against it. Always be countries and lobbies for certain athletes to cover their doping usage. Its been like this for centuries why would it change now.   It is a job where you get paid!
