Cheat This, Not That: Hypocrisy, Ethics and Performance Enhancement

nice. reading this stuff just pisses me off more about the general public though. On a further note, it seems like its been months since i heard the word "steroids" as i walk by people in public. I have heard a lot of positive stuff though, for some reason.....who knows

I would argue that pro athletes under a doctors supervision should be allowed to take anything they want. It's the old adage "If all of the participants have the same weapons at their disposal - then the playing field is even"....

I like the example they used about breast implants. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Women who have breast implants, in say a swim suit completion or a beauty pageant will have an edge over other women who have flat chest (assuming the implants are placed well and aren't extreme). Obviously no one would ever consider that cheating, including myself, but body modifications WILL give the edge over the competition that has chosen the natural route. Sure, it's not baseball or basketball, but it's still a competition that these women take very seriously... This is their "baseball."

Good read. I wish he would have tried to point out how widespread AAS use is among all sorts of athletes that the public looks up to, and how in lots of pro sports it is pretty much required if you want to be competitive.
