Time and Tide Waits For No Athlete

An Open Letter of Concession

Dear Vlad,

We have had our differences over the years, but from time to time there are matters and issues upon which we can find agreement.  One of those is doping in sports.  Now, to be candid, it is true that I have hitherto supported the general line that drugsenhanced sports performance is a form of cheating.

Therefore, in the interests of full disclosure, I must acknowledge that to this point I have strongly opposed Russia's widespread doping and chemical enhancement of its athletes.  Yes, I have supported the Olympic bans upon Russian athletes.  I have even gone so far as to agree with the banning of Maria Sharapova from world tennis. 

But, I have changed my views.  It seems now that doping is widespread throughout world sport and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.  Mankind's lust for glory on the sporting fields is just too strong, too overwhelming to withstand.  Human pride is one of the strongest traits of character in our fallen and benighted race.  Therefore, it is time to throw the towel in.

This is an issue in which history will record Russia, under your leadership, as being a truly enlightened nation, way ahead of the morally antiquated West.  You saw clearly, whereas we did not.  You perceived the arc of history more presciently than any other world leader, apart from minnows like North Korea's Kim Jong Un.  Credit, where credit is due, as my old dad used to say.

As you know, transgenderism, or gender-bending, is rife in the West.

Hypocrisy on Steroids--Literally

Celebrated Drugs Cheating

Transgenderism is a deliberate attempt to rebel against the Creator.  There is a basic polarity in creation when it comes to human beings: their gender is determined by the sex chromosomes that combine (one from the female; one from the male).

Females have an XX pair of sex chromosomes, and males, an XY pair. A baby’s gender is determined by the sperm cell that fertilizes a woman’s egg. Sperm carry one sex chromosome, either a Y (male) or X (female). [Gender Baby]

Transgenderism would subordinate this natural law to the demands and requirements of human choice.  If a man wants to be a woman, or a woman wants to be a man this change can be manipulated into existence by drugs.  This is an ultimate expression of human self-determination. Now it has become all the rage.  And the biggest fools in this biggest of fool's paradises are sports people.

In recent decades there have been huge ructions, demands, postulations, and storms of anger over some athletes and sports people enhancing their performance by drugs.  They have been labelled as cheats and treated as pariahs.  Why the entire Olympic team of Russia has recently been suspended from competition because of their regime of chemical additives.  That's on the one hand.
