Yes to the bottom part

In her defence, a sport where technique is such a huge part of her success, I would suggest an athlete taking drugs would have less impact on an overall score than in a straight race.

Obviously taking drugs does improve an athletes performance, but to say a drugged athlete will always beat a clean athlete assumes that the drugged athlete was already in the top 4 or 5 in the world wouldn't it?
