    I am against it in amateur sports. The olympics need to be clean, IMO.

    BUT.. I think in the case of the NFL and Baseball, its only been beneficial. People want to see homerun hitters and big ass offensive lines. Its impossible to control its use in professional sports, and while it ruins it for those who choose not to use, you may as well make it a damn free for all and give the public what they want.

I agree they have no place with youngster's that participate in sports, but at the pro level, the owners, managers, coaches, associations, and fans have big decisions to make if they truly want to stop steriod use ... not just pay lipservice to such.

    Even if you dismiss the applications just for the purpose of more power and strength, there is no way to keep muscles healthy and recover from minor injuries in the time-frames they are expected too without some assistance.

    In order for steroids to leave sports all together, the owners, coaches, associations, and the fans are going to have to accept slower, smaller athletes and they are going to have to trim down the number of events and length of seasons. If all parties aren't willing to do that, the only other alternative is to legitimize anabolic use in professional sports as just "going with the territory".
    quite insightful there RB
