Richard Boock Biography
- Title:

- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Performance Enhancing Drugs (Such as Steroids) Be Accepted in Sports?"
- Reasoning:
-
“It’s unclear why we continue to beat ourselves up over performance-enhancing drugs, it’s not as if international sport has a great tradition of being pure and clean. Up until 1968 it was a free-for-all; over the next 20 years it was only moderately restricted, and even now the poachers seem light years ahead of the game-keepers”
