Nobody is forcing athletes competing in this event to seek medical approval and prescription for the use of performance enhancing drugs by physicians with no moral qualms doing so. Witka is not any athlete’s personal physician, and is not qualified to speak about medical concerns. WADA’s role is to serve sporting events by preventing performance enhancing drug usage that those events consider unfair during competition.

If someone is choosing to take a performance enhancing medication and is harmed by it, that’s between them (or their estate 😂) and their doctor, and whatever malpractice suit is brought about to a court of law.
