Every time a big doping scandal breaks, everyone, including the guys who stayed clean, says that once several top competitors are doping, you have to start it you want to be able to compete with them, or else choose to sacrifice your career potential to stay clean. In the Lance Armstrong case, he bullied his teammates into doping; they felt they had to comply to stay on the team.[/quote]

While I do agree with the idea in my initial post, I threw it out lightly, and have no interest in a heavy discussion of ethics in professional athletics. I have enough trouble deciding whether to allow my students to use slide rules in their exam on Friday.
