I think the Greeks had it right when the original Olympians competed naked. Running and swimming require no equipment at all, skaters need nothing more than boots, throwing sports need no clothing. Let us see who is best without technology.

I wonder if the question has shifted some from, "who is best" to "what can humanity do?"

PEDs have some effects too macabre to make acceptable (i.e. mandatory) but there are plenty of other ways to squeeze a bit more performance out of the right human. Whether you support these strategies (shoes, training, pacer lights, etc) depends in part on what question you perceive them an answer to.

So much this. Also, they are the exact kind of people one would want to see naked.
