    The montage of each athlete from start to game day would be so much more impressive. I don’t sports betting, but I’d absolutely start the day the athletes are selected.

    As funny as Peter Thiel’s Steroid Games would be, seeing regular ass people become somewhat good at a thing is more interesting than seeing a 1-in-100million freak of nature do something even further beyond my own experience than what pro athletes already do.

      Steroid games sounds disgusting. I’m not surprised to learn that Thiel is one of those guys that is into steroid freaks. Yuck. It is horrible for the people taking them, and gives them lifelong problems, like those poor woman the Stasi in East Germany were tasked with doping without their knowledge to win in olympic competitions, swim team I think idk if others too, during the cold war.

      Just awful, they might still be around, normally I support the right to use drugs, but anabolic steroids are just awful and have few if any legitimate uses.
