Doping of athletes is in the news. The World Anti-Doping Agency is purportedly “alarmed” by claims that athletes with suspicious doping test records have won a third of medals at Olympic and other most prestigious events around the world. For instance, athletes who have dubious test results have won as many as ten medals at London 2012 Olympics. The leak of blood-test data covers about twelve-thousand tests from around five-thousand athletes. It comes from a whistleblower from the International Association of Athletics Federations. Sir Craig Reedie, the president of WADA, declared that his institution would do whatever necessary “to ensure a level playing field for clean athletes of the world.” What else could he say, anyhow? But the hoopla is most interesting to observe as it ricochets from one newspaper to another as though the leak is truly newsworthy. The only surprise is that the proportion of medals won at leading sports events by doped athletes is not considerably higher. Say, nine-tenths. By definition, WADA is always a few steps behind the newest doping tricks in the field, and there are tricks aplenty. Everybody and his uncle wants to be the winner for all the fortune, fame, and sexual favors involved. Athletes are only human, after all. In other words, the hoopla surrounding the doping of athletes is most suspicious. It is disingenuous to boot. The only true surprise should go to the athletes who do not succumb to doping, assuming there are a few of them left still.
