What about Olympics without drug restrictions? Like, how much can we improve on the human body?

We’ve already got the Tour de France, so that’s one sport down.

Athletes already put a lot of stress on their bodies as it is, a druglympic would end up with a lot of sick or dead people

Don’t we already kind of have this? Can’t people have done the drugs as long as they test clean at the event?

I’m not sure it’d be “much more” entertaining. I think watching arguably the greatest athletes in the world compete in their specialty is a great spectacle and I find it odd that they are implying it’s boring, but it would certainly be a lot fun to watch regardless (aside from the ridicule that sadly would occur)

It would be garbage to watch random people do these events. The only entertainment would be watching people like me almost kill themselves pole vaulting or something.

I could see it being a whole thing where they crash course in a sport for 3-6mo or something then just get out there and play.

Right, give me a javelin and tell me that I can’t throw it into the crowd, see what I do.
