Keep the IOC the hell away from motorsports. That bunch of self-important over-inflated windbags has been so corrupt in the past that I wouldn't want anything to do with them if it's at all avoidable. I don't know why any motorsport governing body would want to have anything to do with them.



As far as drugs go, I can't see the value of off-season drug testing for athletes in motorsports. Unless it's just to make sure they're not sullying the image of the sport off the track, but that's a pretty thin argument during the off-season. And when we're talking motorsports, that's the only real issue: image. Sponsors put up big bucks for motorsports, and the organizing bodies don't want the sport to be made to look bad by athletes using drugs. I guess that's their perogative. As someone said, I'd like to see an example of a drug that could provide any real benefit in motorsports.

Uh, hate to tell ya buddy, but your 4th ammendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure are long dead. Ever heard of no-knock searches? Asset forfeiture? Drug search roadblocks (recently struck down by the Supreme Court)? All (and more) brought to you by the war on drugs. Had to take a piss test for a job where impairment wouldn't be an issue (ie not operating heavy machinery or making critical decisisions)? Got a kid in high school who's been forced to submit to a piss test if they want to be involved in extracurricular activities. In this area (Ontario, Canada), they want to piss test welfare recipients.



Apparently, nobody respects or thinks that personal privacy is important anymore. Or at least not a majority of people, anyway. Not until the nazis bust their door down waving guns around because some was paid to rat them out (even thought they may be totally innocent), will they realize what they've let happen, and then it'll be to late.

That was supposed to say "because some s.c.u.m. was paid to rat them out". Jay-sus, is s.c.u.m. considered an obscene word now?
