PEDs would be hugely advantageous in professional disc golf, and there is a mountain of literature/research and real world examples of this in other comparable sports going back decades. MLB pitchers come to mind as an example, but there are a multitude of others. Juiced up players would have a huge advantage in arm speed and power alone, and that's just one of many aspects. The improved recovery time would allow a player to put in a lot more work in the field as well, leading to improvements in skill and endurance.debatable and not unless it is forced on them
Yes to the first part, and absolutely not to the second, assuming you're not being facetious.Disc golf at the tour level should stay far far away from any notion of joining the Olympic bureaucracy and should go the complete opposite direction and embrace drug use.
What competitive advantages can come from it and will we see any drug testing on the DGPT due to players using PEDs in the future.
Agreed, and I think the most important point to make here, is that it's a DGPT problem, not a PDGA one.I could be wrong (hey, it happens), but I don't think PED use even cracks DG's Top 10 problems. Seems we'd be looking for a solution to a fairly non-existent problem (at least as far as DG is concerned).
Could it become a problem somewhere down the road? I suppose so. But I don't think the DGPT needs to start random drug tests at this point. Call me when Calvin's head changes shapes like Barry Bonds'.
