Grammar
gain an advantage/edge//a good point
However, in the past few years, some Tour de France athletes have been caught using illegal drugs to gain an advantage in the difficult race.
Hi,
Is it also right to say "gain an edge" and "gain a good point" instead of "gain an advantage" in the above? Thanks.

"gain an edge" is fine, and means "gain a small advantage". "gain a good point" doesn't make sense to me in this context.
