Polar Opposites, Tuesday

Morrigan and Alistair had already squabbled over who got to pick out a topic from the bowl this week by the time the students arrived, and Morrigan had a small piece of parchment clutched in her hands. She was going to vet every topic from here on out, to prevent any more shenanigans by the warden.

"Today we are debating random drug testing of athletes, both professional and student," she said smoothly. "It is my understanding that this means that players participating in a team event have been known to ingest substances that give them an unfair advantage over other players."

Yes, Alistair, she's looking at you. THE TAINT COUNTS.

What was she looking at him for? It's not like Morrigan knew about the taint...

"I don't understand that," Alistair said, looking mildly confused. "I mean, who hasn't taken a quick potion to boost their-- ah, stamina..." He made it sound quite illicit, "...before a game?"

She was a Daughter of Flemeth, of course she knew how wardens were made. Not that Alistair needed to know that.

"Apparently, stamina potions are frowned upon unless everyone can have one," Morrigan replied mildly. "Even if some people don't need them."

"You lot have a funny way of doing things," Alistair informed the group at large. "But fine, let's toss this one out there. Someone convince me why this is bad."

"Testing should be required," Quinn said, twisting a bit of hair earnestly. "It's just not fair if one team is all 'roided up and the other isn't. Plus those drugs are gross anyhow, they totally wreck your skin."

Priorities, Quinn had them.

"Definitely for," said Annie. "Drugs are a really big problem everywhere, and people shouldn't get rewarded for taking them, which is what happens. It's something that's only going to mess them up later on. Besides, it's cheating when the other players might be trying to get better at what they do with actual effort."

Not that she had Thoughts here or anything.

Quinn was there, and full of opinions about sports and performance-enhancing drugs. She also wondered if coffee counted as a stamina potion.
