Do you agree Zach Lund of the US Skeleton crew should be banned for taking a hair restoration pill?

Is the ban on certain substances getting too ridiculous?Do you agree Zach Lund of the US Skeleton crew should be banned for taking a hair restoration pill?
If the hair restoration pill contains a banned substance then yes he should be banned. The fact that the principle use of the medication may be to grow hair doesn't really matter if one of the ingredients is banned by the IOC then the athlete must either avoid ingesting the substance or else face the consequences.





If an athlete took a medication for an earache and that medicine contained cocaine the athlete couldn't expect us to believe them when they say: ';Hey...I have a sore ear so I take Ear-B-Gone,I didn't take it for the cocaine that is also in it that may enhance my performance!'; The athlete should have used another treatment for his sore ear, one that did not contain a banned substance.





If a certain toothpaste was available at the store and the ingredients were mint leaves and bovine growth hormone then an athlete should probably not use it since the growth hormone was a banned substance...he couldn't expect us to believe that he or she used the toothpaste just for teeth whitening.





Athletes have access to top medical and health information so they should be well informed by their medical/health team what they are putting in their Olympic bodies.





If Zach Lund is follicly challenged then he should deal with the situation in another way, one that does not involve using a medication that contains a banned substance, like maybe a wig.





Besides, a lack of hair would make an athlete more aerodynamic and thus much faster!Do you agree Zach Lund of the US Skeleton crew should be banned for taking a hair restoration pill?
Propecia can have performance enhancing effects, and he should know better. The banned substances are not a secret.
No. That is ridiculous.
