Are PEDs designed specifically for faster healing cheating? Gaining a chemical edge to become bigger and faster than your competition is certainly cheating. But what about something that can speed up the healing process so an athlete can come back faster?
If used in a way that doesn't enhance performance but allows an athlete to recover from injury faster than it isn't cheating in my opinion.
There should be a burden of proof on the athlete though to show they are using it and doing so with a prescription purely to clear up an injury or illness.

isn't "healing faster than humanly possible" pretty much equivalent to "gain an unfair advantage"? *NM*
