"Norman Fost, a Madison, Wis., pediatrician and a medical ethicist, has a problem with performance-enhancing drugs and sports. Specifically, he doesn't understand why the sports world has a problem with athletes who use drugs and why regulatory bodies go to such great lengths to ban performance-enhancing drugs in competition." (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL) This article outlines Norman Fost's controversial belief that it doesn't make sense to ban athletes from using performance-enhancing drugs while other unnatural methods such as high-altitude training, carbo-loading, nutritional supplements and high-tech equipment are permitted.
