Same as the mind bending drugs.
If we didnt have the current system where it was illegal to use mind bending drugs then they would have little or no street value so organised crime wouldnt be interested. Those 'fools' who wanted to use would use and there would be a very small and short term increase in deaths due to addict problems (over-doses and withdrawals).
The above statement is not one of my own but a paraphrase of advice that was given to me when I was at school (40 years ago) as we had a UN drugs advisor as one of our school master. He was an expert in the cannabis, marijuana and other opiates field and in his school holidays did work for UN in this area. He advocated that the drugs should be legalised as this would then remove the drug trafficing and street problems in first world countries.
Same in sports with drugs. If you allowed use yes you would have a two tier sport but then you could have 'enhanced' and 'un-enhanced' records. Those who used would be very obvious and wouldnt need testing. Those that claimed to be un-enhanced would need to be tested to prove this state. There would be a lot of athletes from the enhanced group who died young (30-50) dues to side effects and toxicity problems. (The candle only burns so bright for a limited time).
