Just saying it was another type of protected division. I agree, the men's division is also protected to some degree from PED users. There is no clean solution. I like someone else's post about Heap Problems. It's clear there are naturally occurring classes of athlete, but the lines we draw are arbitrary, and that's just how it is. Just like any other science experiment, we must pick and choose variables that make the most sense, as we cannot infinitely slice.
