A 90th percentile athlete today is likely anything but all natural today.

By the same measure, pain killers, kinesio tapes, surgeries, ice baths: they are routine stuff for common athletes over-exerting themselves.

I've never seen anyone naturally grow a kinesio tape, yet I think 90% of people in pro sports wear them. :)

It always was and remains a question of where we draw the line?

I think that the rule should be the same for the entire population — if we are aware of the adverse effects, prescription required.
