How would you feel if all sportspeople were allowed to use whatever drugs – performance enhancing or otherwise – they wanted?

Would you consider the dropping of restrictions and penalties for using drugs a way of leveling the playing field for all athletes?

And if everyone was allowed to use them would the dark light shed on performance enhancing drugs be removed?

At the moment, in my opinion anyway, there exists an element within sport that believes it's not the best athlete that will win but in fact the athlete with the best chemist.

Today we've seen the news that seven more positive drug tests had come back as a result of samples taken at the Beijing Olympics being re-tested.

The idea that restrictions will be lifted is a day-dream for the cheats.

The sporting world is never going to turn its back on the idea that they can keep their respective codes clean.

In the past the cheats have been two steps ahead of the testers.

Their chemists have been giving them drugs that no one had ever heard of let alone found a way to test for.

But the idea that samples will be kept and tested retrospectively must have some shaking in their boots.

The chase is now becoming a lot more competitive and if you were on the juice you'd have to be asking yourself how safe am I?

One of the high-profile names to fall from grace in this latest bunch of tests is Italian cyclist Davide Rebellin – the silver medalist in the Olympic road race.

And once again the sport of cycling has been tarnished.

Cycling has been, and probably always will be, a sport that attracts the attention of dopers.

Why? The most likely reason is because the sport is so damn tough.

Races like the Tour de France take the competitors to the absolute end of their physical capabilities.

And to compete, and I hate to say it make money, some athletes feel they're compelled to take drugs to win.

Gone are the days where natural ability and hard work won races.

But maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.

With more and more attention being paid to the race against the cheats there's a high chance the tide might turn.

Unfortunately it will mean more athletes are caught and more athletes will be tarred with the guilt by association brush.

But there's a good chance that in the years to come the playing field will be level and the best man or woman on the day will win.

Let me know what you think? Am I the one who is living in a day dream?
