Editorial on steroids... i agree with it

[bignatt]

i wouldnt call it respecting the game or the league being an athlete is about who is the best

[Dimes]

Who is the best.. not who lies to his fans, not who cheats... te guy who broke the record was pissed when the bonds thing came out, the guys back in the days respected the game, now a days its all about money and fame

Thats just the way the cookie crumbles

Some guys are not only there for the fame and the glory, some players actually respect the game and the leaugue, that why the ones that dont juice, dont juice. The reason the MLB sinks lower and lower is because their arent any guys like that left.

I agree with that but those same players see all the steroids in baseball and have known about it and just watched the did nothing to try to get real testing are rules against it. So i think nobody in baseball is innocent. It was part of the game

I think the majority does roids, so the small amount that dont do roids, just keep quiet, but the comissioer promised to take drastic measures vs roid use, so lets see what he does.

I will agree with you here, but I disagree with you're ostracizing of anabolic steroids. Steroids are but a mere symptom of the underlying disease plaguing the entirety of modern mainstream sports - money. If the money wasn't there then the government wouldn't give a rats ass about the goings on and the players would not be willing to risk their physical well being to acquire such vast hordes of material paraphernalia.

The media, the fans, the players, the kids that have these guys as role models, etc. etc. those people give a ****

The media, the fans, the players, and the kids ARE the fundamental problem with modern sports. Such individuals place an astronomical premium on sports and subsequently the atheletes whom embody them. As such, and only as a result of such asinine adoration, can the players enjoy such a priveleged life and as such resort to extreme measures to assure their continued success.

The solution, f@ck them. Watch C-SPAN instead of a Giants game. Take your kid out and show him how to play and respect the game and competition in general as opposed to developing more mindless adoration of mere caricatures of what ought to be, or what once was.

now a days its all about money

If the leagues have rules and you break them... you are cheating. Personally I think he should be suspended the upcoming season, the MLB is one of the worst organizations in the sense that thjey let their players get away with anything and everything

so your breaking our countries rules? your a cheater!

EXACTLY what i was saying

[Badgerman]

Steroids have been around since when??? It always irks me when people like Carl Lewis attack Ben Johnson and then you find out later Carl had tested positive and it was covered up by the USOC......it would be much easier to legalize steroid use......require health monitoring.....if the doctors let a guy destroy his body.....let the lawyers line them out. The class of drugs is certainly helpful for injury prevention etc.....no reason to have such a negative view.....they're just another tool.....just like advil........HOWEVER.......Bonds record should have an asterisk......steroid enhanced performance......because it certainly upped his bat speed.......

Yup I am and if I ever get caught I will gladly accept the consequences... just as he should, we would get punished in this situation, sho should bonds. And hes a cheater at a bigger magnitude cuz he is in a competition, I just do it to look better.

[Dimes]

That he got caught and now he should pay the consequences for been caught...everybody has known for years, but no proof, now its a fact and nobody is doping anything about it.
