Roids, MLB and the government.....

This is a topic that I find terribly interesting and couldn't enjoy all the news surround anymore than I am. The sad part is that the entire thing is a joke. Why is the government involved in major league baseball and how they run their league? Why are guys like McGwire and co. being put on the witness stand in front of the world? What crime are they being tried for? Are we going to do the same thing to our Olympic athletes, to NFlers, to NHLers, to tennis pros and the rest.? This whole thing is BS to the max. Did guys juice? Well that is very clear now and if you read this article back in 2002 in T-mag, you would have known this. If you ever talked to anyone connected with any professional sports league who didn't walk around with blinders on, you would know that this is going on in all sports. Guys can't compete at the MLB, NBA, NFL level without doing something to get so much bigger, faster and stronger. Yeah training, diet and creatine help, but most if not near all these mofos took some kind of steroid at some point to get that extra juice. How many take growth hormones, that they can't test for so that they heal faster? NFLers??? NBAers??? And is it really that much of a heath risk? Didn't Arnie do roids? And not Canseco like amounts, but ridiculously high amounts according to guys that know. Should he be called in? How about all the women out there on birth control aka Estrogen....should they be tested? Is testosterone that bad? If you are mid 20s and under, it might be. If you are 45/50 or taking under a doctors supervision? Prob not. Instead of villianizing these guys we should start testing and see what the health benefits are. Can someone please bring that up?
