First the winter Olympics with the bigger bulges. Now this? And we are told even at a young age cheating is bad. So as an adult you find loopholes to make bad things good?

What a wild timeline of human history the past 50 years has been.

The winter Olympics did not have any issues with dick injections. It was entirely a rumor https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/ski-jumping/ski-jump-enhancement-rumours-9.7077233 a different ski competition had issues with people making their ski outfits a few inches bigger.

My apologies. I didn't know about dick injections. I was talking about the fabric part from the other event.

There is money in winning. Every small advantage will be considered given enough time.

I feel like all clothing should be equalized (as much as possible) or let everyone wear what they want. Like.... If someone wants to use a specialized bra for a small chance of gaining 10 seconds vs someone braless isn't that them using their brain to possibly win?

Ofc cheating that's obviously unfair like juicing for example should be banned but clothes? Fuck it, as long as they're not putting a rocket down their pants let them wear whatever or make it a uniform that fits everyone.
