New Endurance Drug

A couple of new drugs apparently combine to give sedentary people the endurance fitness of people who exercise hard. Check this article recently published in the Wall St Journal

What staggered me most about this article were the comments about the potential abuse of these drugs by athletes. On the one hand the doctors were HAPPY that they'd found a pill that would allow lazy-ass people to continue to physically neglect and nutritionally abuse their bodies to the limit. But on the other hand they were WORRIED that people who actually look after themselves and live an extremely healthy lifestyle might use the drugs to further IMPROVE themselves???

But I guess its good to see everyone is sticking with the mentality of pouring resources into the lazy, unproductive, dregs of society while continuing to penalise the few people in the world who actually do work.

'Cos the people too lazy to help themselves need our help, doncha' know.
