For me, the opening statement really said it all.

The World Anti-Doping Agency said many athletes who had been targeted for testing "simply could not be found"

After all the scandal leading up the games you would have thought they might have put some effort in!

f**k drug testing. Let athletes do what they want.

If someone doesn't want to use, that's their choice

Insulina all the way!!

As nice an idea as that is, I think it's probably not "for the best" if clean athletes who are quite rightly opposed to taking that risk, are forced into a situation where it is now completely impossible to be competitive without succumbing to even greater pressure to partake in illegal (in many places) and very realistically health harming activities.

Good point, and very true...it seems likely, though, that if they weren't "banned" they would be much safer and, even if only eventually, no longer illegal in those many places.

How do you figure they would be much safer?

There's never going to be anything safe about a bunch of athletes granted unlimited use of performance enhancing hormones, competitively against other athletes who will also be trying to take more and more. Drug testing isn't perfect, but it does go a long way towards stopping things like this get out of hand I think.

They should run a second olympics where instead of competing as nations, the big pharmaceutical companies enter teams dosed up to the eye balls.

It'll be like winning the constructors championships in F1.

Largely because Doctor's would be more likely to be involved - a bit like *cough*
Cycling - but this time people wouldn't be running around with Brown Envelopes full of...Things.
