all the examples you gave are external to the athlete.
and the FACT that we DO go back and get medals back if an athlete is found, as i already said, having used peds if proof that in this case it might happen to, if the decision comes that indeed one needs to prove biological markers for past achievements.
this is actually the moderate, clear-headed, rational option.
When WADA banned Meldonium in 2016, they didn't retroactively go back and punish prior users.
That's a fair analogy, maybe? It was chaos (unregulated) prior, then regulated after, and internal to the athlete (unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean there).
