And anyone who has a problem with medical science aiding recovery from injury is an idiot.

But in cycling they are using drugs to aid in the actual performance during the competition the way McGuire and Bonds did. And this is cheating.

Moreover, these guys, when caught, all claim they are using it to heal, but the anecdotal evidence I have read about suggests that HGH, for one, has real benefits that transcend healing.
