Do you think that all professional combat sports athletes use performance-enhancing drugs?
No, I do not believe that all professional combat sports athletes use performance-enhancing drugs. While there have been cases of athletes testing positive for banned substances, it would be unfair to assume that all athletes in the sport are using PEDs. Many athletes work incredibly hard to achieve their level of skill and fitness through dedicated training and proper nutrition. It's important to recognize and celebrate the achievements of clean athletes while also acknowledging the efforts being made to catch and penalize those who do use performance-enhancing drugs.

Why do athletes practice sports in high mountains?
Athletes practice sports in high mountains for several reasons. Firstly, training at high altitudes can improve an athlete's endurance and overall performance by increasing their red blood cell count and oxygen-carrying capacity. Additionally, the reduced oxygen levels at high altitudes can help athletes improve their cardiovascular fitness and lung capacity. Finally, training in high mountains can also provide a mental challenge, as athletes must adapt to the harsh conditions and develop mental toughness, which can benefit their performance in competitions at lower elevations.
