| Know any musicians that take beta-blockers for stage fright? Drink coffee to stay awake? The issue is one of "fair play" for the judges and fans, and "performance enhancement" for the athletes. Maybe these guys who get caught are chasing the dream so hard and so fast that they'll fall into what we might call temporary insanity.
Do these guys do the wrong thing? Heck yeah! Should we feel a little pity for them? A little, yeah. But I feel especially sorry for the "runners up," the ones who missed out on the glory and honor and euphoria and applause and champagne they rightfully deserved.
