Well, if you don't care, why do you bother to profess an opinion? There are plenty who do care about the well-being of athletes.
I am skeptical, however, that doping will ever get under control unless the pressure behind the doping relents. The rewards in elite sports are perhaps too great. By the time athletes reach their prime mentally, the body is no longer at its peak, and they're desperately trying to compensate to finally reap the rewards of a career of brutal training.
