It's not an impression so much as an observation. I used the word "future" in my statement, because I think this is where we are headed. The guys at the highest levels today are under the microscope where this is concerned, so we may actually be seeing some pretty impressive stuff. We may never actually know what "maxed out human performance potential" actually is, however, as the acceptance of human performance enhancement becomes more wide-spread. The average guy on the street already doesn't give a shit if his favorite player "uses an edge" as long as his team wins. That is where we will have to then make the distinction between the athlete and the athlete/entertainer.
I get into these discussions all the time and I know the numbers and opinions are against me, but, like I say, I am old fashioned. Sometimes, I am pretty proud of that.
