Several athletes busted for this already, more expected apparently with track and field events this week. I don't understand why an athlete would even chance this. I just don't get it.

With all the money and glory on the line, I see why some people would want to risk it.
I am just content being a clean mid packer.

To quote George Carlin, "The problem with dope is that they are too many dopes."
If you need meds for a condition you have, OK. But is it worth it to do the stuff for a medal they'll take away, and you're left screwing up your body?
Hecky, no.
I'm with rtpd on this one (though I'd be further back in the pack).

I'm not content being a mid-packer, but I'd never resort to doping. Seems like it would take away the sense of personal accomplishment.

I mean that I am happy with being clean and accomplishing what I accomplish. I may want to be faster as we all do, but I have reached a level in my life that I am just content. It is not a sell out at all.
