What do you think of the IOC trying to get an exemption from the Italian law which hands out prison terms for doping offenses? Personally, I think if you're an "athlete" using performance enhancing drugs, you should stay home from the Olympics if you don't want to go to jail.

Thats what the exemption was for? I actually misunderstood the news, as I was under the asumption that they wanted to exempt them from actually having to be drug free, which made no sence.
I think that the law is the law. I think there might have been an underlying reason for picking Italy.

Interesting question. It seemingly forces one to accept that a doping athlete is victimizing someone ***in addition to themselves***.
You do not need a weapon to injure or damage someone. You can do so through force and/or FRAUD.
We may get many points of view on this one, given cultural sensibilities about justice.
