So, your position is "nobody cares" therefore it should be allowed.
Break the rules that are in place because "nobody cares". Who is nobody? Look for quotes from MLB players after Ryan Braun admitted his usage and excepted his suspension. A-Rod is consider a joke. Bonds, Clemens and the rest of them are considered cheaters they broke the rules well some did, they just can't prove it.
This is the 25th anniversary of the Seoul Games, you know the one where Ben smoked Carl Lewis and won the gold only to be stripped 3 days later and lived in shame as a cheater the rest of his life.
The players union agrees to the tough doping standards that are in place. If they didn't there wouldn't be testing.
Why is it, people feel, the only way to change the law, is to break the law.
If this is really your position, how far down into the minors do you agree it is acceptable for athletes to be on PED?
Wetts, you ok with your family member, your son or daughter's coach
preaching and enabling them to use PED's to get an edge to win a high school game or to turn pro if that is what
they wanted?
My guess is that if a guy approached your daughter as a junior in high school and said "Work with me for 3 years, take the drugs I give you on a certain day, and you will be an Olympic Champion Gold Medalist". You would be against it. Or maybe your son in grade 10 and said "take these drugs and you will go to NCAA Division One program and have a shot at the NFL". You'd be against it
But maybe I am wrong. Or maybe it's ok for people you don't know to take PED's. Either way until you convince the players union, the track and field community etc that PED's is ok, this isn't worth discussing.
Drug testing is here to stay and they need to start throwing these guys out permanently!
