Why is the website so.. propaganda-ey?

It sounds like they're casting atheletes who willingly take banned substances as a persecuted minority group that we need to stand united for, on par with the fight for LGBT rights or something. It's all super-defensive, like it was started by a few atheletes that got caught. The section called "Science is Real" tries to cast anti-doping as anti-science.

Watch one of those documentaries on Lance Armstrong. Getting blood transfusions in the back of a van doesn't look fun.

But I'm all for it. Why stop at substances? Use CRISPR to give a swimmer some webbed-feet.
