A no limits Olympics thought experiment

[Santino]

Why not create new drugs-related events? Such as televised heroin taking, where you see who can inject most heroin without dying?

Obviously restrict it to adults to protect children.

It would be like F1, the teams with vast amounts of R&D money would win.

You could get smaller diameter needles so the kids could compete as well without overstretching their little veins.

 

[WouldBe]

Just limit it to recreational drugs and add new events like last man standing.

Or just enter cycling events, where taking PEDs is mandatory.

Pedalling with PEDs you got from a PED peddler ?

The could spice it up by having "no limits" on using roads while cycling events, marathons etc are taking place. Lorries, spectators, random cyclists... would be much more realistic than creating a sterile environment.

How about a mash up event with F1 and road cycling on the same circuit at the same time. But with the cars running clockwise and the cyclists anti-clockwise?

Just a big field with a road around it and a lake, and every single event taking place simultaneously.

IRL frogger would make a great Olympics sport.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Not strictly on topic but I was thinking the other day about the Olympics and covid spread. Solution - everyone competes in zorbing balls.

But archery

 

[bellaozzydog]

The archery would be good for a laugh.

ffs I must read the thread before posting

 

[WouldBe]

But archery

Any throwing event could be interesting.

Good job you don't get penalised for knocking hurdles over.

110m spice hurdles.

 

[weltweit]

Would be more no limits if it wasn't just open to humans.

Kangaroo and Cheetah compete over 100m?

Great white shark v Dolphin in the pool...

Why not, we've already seen Man v Cheetah. IIRC Jesse Owens used to run against horses after the Berlin Olympics to earn a crust.

 

[Cid]

There's already a man vs horse marathon in Wales.

There have been lots of early deaths of dopers. And dopers always take unknown risks by using pharmaceuticals in scenarios which they haven't been tested for. So I think it's a terrible idea. Nobody studies the health of doped athletes after they've retired. The consequences might be far worse than we realise. Clinical trials are done for a reason.

But if it were lawful then the studies coukd be done.
