This may seem to be a pretty stupid question, that the author proposed. Of course athletes are getting faster, better and stronger. If you don't improve, others with better abilities, talents and more hard work is going to take over your places sooner or later. However, I think the real question here is that, although we can see the improvements on these athletes, but how many of them are really gaining more power, strength through the right passages? Like extra training and more hard work? Sometimes we worry that, and history has proved this theory right, that many athletes tried to win, or stay in shape by doing drugs and consuming steroids. It's wrong both for their bodies and the moral of sports.
What we want for these athletes is not to see them as super heroes with great strength, power of lightning speed. We would love them to be better than normal people, but once they consume drugs, it's another matter. I believe that many people can achieve what they do if we also eat steroids, and it wouldn't be fair. We would love to see the athletes in games, sweating hard and winning trophies by the bodies they worked hard and practiced daily. That's the pain and gain fact, people only deserve after they have tried their best.
David here on the stage is not only proposing this kind of theory, but also worried about what the crowd and public is turning our athletes into. Sometimes the pressure from the audiences make a huge impact on the sportsmen. We gave them too much stress, and there were all those expectations coming from everywhere. And sometimes when these athletes couldn't perform as we have predicted, we don't cheer for them, instead giving them lots of boos and disapproved looks. This kind of sick moves are the main reasons which are forcing the athletes to turn toward illegal drugs. In the end, athletes are still made of flesh and bone, for they may be stronger and tougher, but they are still human just like the rest of us.
