They should allow all drugs for athletes to level the playing field, let them get as loaded up and lets see some proper races.

The drugs that get used can cause a lot of trouble. Especially if they got used wrong.
Its just much more cleaner with out them in sport.

It would be wrong because the other Athletes that want to do it all by them self and not need drugs to aid them will be at a disadvantage

You could do it like bodybuilding then and have "Clean" competitions with smaller but natural competitors and the rest of the competitions are by implication "unclean" with larger athletes who are taking drugs. That way it takes the route of allowing an informed choice. I don't know if that is better or worse but it is an option at least.

Personally I'd prefer that no drugs be taken to aid athletes but as long as there is competition people will try to gain an unfair advantage so rather than have people try to hide it we might be better to allow them to take these substances in relative safety because they then don't have to take masking compounds etc.
