I think fights have their value in the sport of hockey. At the professional level we are seeing less fights then previous years. I would also argue that fights now usually serve as a reaction to a dirty play. #KIN110 #InGameViolence

@jaxon64682205 @KIN110UofR Very interesting. I have heard him say that personally he believes it was worth putting his body through everything he did. He loved what he did and it shows how athletes are willing to go to extremes for what they love. #KIN110

@JacobSmithBurg1 Completely agree. Even if you look at some strength sports like powerlifting or bodybuilding with longer off seasons there is more time to start a cycle and be clean before the competition comes. #Lab8KIN11019

@evan_goodfellow @KIN110UofR I think this is definitely a hard situation. Of course you have to consider the business side of it and how much money is coming in/popularity. However, for the future of having equal opportunity for men and women in sport, I think it is a step backwards. #KIN110

@TrevLaFrambo Do you think the involvement of so many Russian athletes comes down to a different shared societal view on the use of PED’s in sport? #Lab8KIN11019

[kyle bitschy @KBitschy]

@EastonJayse I think it definitely would help send the message for first time NFL players by enforcing harsher punishments. Also interesting to see the difference in views of PED’s that apply to various sports in terms of athletes, fans, and the institutions.#Lab8KIN11019

@Oakley1877 Having these consequences associated with using definitely helps keep athletes away from PED’s. Do you think these same consequences can apply across all sport or only larger North American leagues like the MLB,NFL ect.?#Lab8KIN11019

[kyle bitschy @KBitschy]

@jaxon64682205 By allowing an environment for use I think it provides a very controlled and safe practise for the athletes that have decided to make the decision to use PED’s. It shouldn’t be promoted to use but also can’t completely neglected in society. #Lab8KIN11019

[kyle bitschy @KBitschy]

Policing performance enhancing drugs across sports is not a lost cause and should be continued. However there should also be a way in which those athletes who make the personal decision to use can do so in a safe manner and against others. #Lab8KIN11019

I think social class does limit the level of talent we see in sport today. Hockey for example is very expensive and many great players I knew had to play in house leagues to avoid some of the cost. #kin110 #socialclass

@jaxon64682205 With a mix up like this being so accessible to athletes and the general population, do you think it should be up to the CIS to provide their athletes with proper supplements? #Lab8KIN11019

@KIN110UofR https://t.co/4ofnQXo9d3 The article brings up an interesting point about sports industries/communities not being ready for a minority raced players to reach star level within popular North American sports. I wonder how this would change #racelogic

@KIN110UofR I remember playing hockey growing up and hearing racial comments towards an African-Canadian player on my team from both player and parent. It’s terrible this sort of action still takes place when aggression arises. #racism

@KIN110UofR https://t.co/BmOb7gpQMk The IAAF wants to require women with naturally elevated testosterone to lower their levels by medication before being allowed to compete in world-class races from 400 meters to one mile. Caster Semenya is challenging gender politics. #kin110 #gender

@KIN110UofR the idea of turning a professional athlete into a politician holds many positive opportunities. Take Arnold Schwarzenegger for example. Being very popular with the people, Arnold had the ability to express his views and bring more popularity to bodybuilding.#athletepolitician
