Given the countless stories of child abuse and general abuse by coaches across pretty much every sport, I don’t think you can hide behind “but it was their choice!” when an athlete is forced to take performance enhancing drugs or be blackballed from the sport.
This is in the context of a doping-only league.

Alcohol causes abuse too. I think the hypothetical you're talking about would be a social problem, and not a substance one per se. Abuse in sports is a terrible ill. I think you're right to highlight that this is a potential vector for it, but I feel like it's a "people problem" and not a "things problem".

She has receipts to prove she is not cheating? Sure, man. She is a cheater just like all cyclists. She just got sloppy.
It’s a real tough choice.

Who am I to believe? UKAD, who fought like hell to deny her defence before accepting it based on her work, or random internet commenter who can’t even be arsed to read the article before commenting? It’s a real tough choice.

Where does what you said rebut my point?
If they don't want to take drugs... don't join the drug enhanced league. This isn't complicated.
