I've seen some dumb over corrections when reflexsively just jumping to whatever the opposite of America says is right but "America doesn't like steroids because the soviets invented them so any attempt to create a level playing field is bougesie obsession with rules" is by far the dumbest most trivial example of that thinking I've ever seen.

Again if we're saying "fuck the rules" how do you have any sort of competition. This is like trying to have a conversation with somebody where the other person refuses to agree to the idea that words have meanings.

If you don't give a shit about rules and following rules makes you a bad socialist or something (again can't even follow your convoluted logic) are you just against the idea of friendly competition.

Because that's why you have rules in sports, it's like the fundamental basis for being able to have any sort of competition.

"Were going to have a foot race but since this person runs all the time and this person never exercises were gonna have one run 10 meters and the other run 100 so they finish at the same time, gotta love sports."

Is your ideal form of sports no matter who competes everybody ties because one person winning and another person losing is western decadence?

How the fuck do you get that from this, like huh? Seriously are you ok? To most people that practice a sport or that are really into a specific sport PEDs are a thing that pretty much every athlete uses. And 'the rules' only get brought up by dipshits, like look at Lance here guy doped and so did everyone else, this isn't news lmao. I'm not saying fuck the rules I'm saying fuck that very specific rule because guess what that rule is why dipshit yanks, which ima guess me saying that sent you into a fit, use to explain why the US can't compete against the Russians, Iranians, Georgians, Chinese etc etc. it is something I've seen 5 years ago over and over and over again.
