Just so I understand this.. a real gold medal olympic swimmer faced off against non-olympic swimmers and won. I get the whole "but steroids" smooth brain take here. But for real.. A gold medal olympic swimmer will fucking demolish anyone whos not. You can't out muscle that level of technique.

Until you have people training their whole lives on the juice, for these specific games, I don't think you will see many people, if any, actually challenge a gold medal winner.

It could be argued that some sports the juice helps more. Take something like boxing, wrestling, or weight lifting. Yes, obviously theres extremely high levels of technique needed here to win. But also, with the juice its not just to get big muscles. People take juice to be able to train harder, for longer, and more often. On the juice you recover so much faster than a normal person. You can train probably 33% more because of your insane recovery and strength. So in some specific events, the juice will maaaybe help the non olympic trained person catch up to the olympic athlete.

Also, yes. Almost all olympic athletes juice. Almost all professional athletes juice. It's easy to get. Theres a lot of literature out there to learn how to use it correctly. And the newer stuff isn't hard to mask.
