RE: Gold Medal-winning race walker Alex Schwazer

It appears as though in this decade of athletes, we don't really have any real talent anymore. Perhaps we do, and it's simply the actions and choices they make that has them looking so talentless.
Alex Schwazer was kicked out of the London games for the abuse of illegal substances. Unfortunately, many athletes today are taking EPO, which increase the blood oxygenation. Schwazer confessed to the press he was happy they caught him. 
It is sad to think a competition can make a person so dull. I personally don't care too much for sports, but taking drugs to better one's performance shows how little wise people are. It encourages young athletes to do the same, even though they're "good enough".
