This made me stop and think.  Why is it that a bunch of European
aristocrats get to choose what is and what is not "cheating?"  Who has
input into the banned substances list?  Do the athletes have any input at
all?

I wonder what the list would look like if there were an athletes union
(which there probably should be for other reaosns)?
