Sorry, but until they enforced it, I don’t see the big deal. It’s like saying actresses who get plastic surgery are cheating. They’ll be 100 posts now explaining to me why I’m wrong...go head..I know all the arguments..I believe what I believe.

I agree. Athletes are entertainers, just like TV and movie actors are. I don’t care what they do to themselves.

If this activity took place in a business, the media and politicians would be howling about cheating to get money....how the public was deceived by these drug users....how illicit gains were made by owners who looked the other way.

Since this is entertainment, we are supposed to glaze over and just know more about the the Yankee team stats than we do about what Congress is doing.

Bread and Circuses.

No, you don’t ‘know all the arguments’. The Uniform Player Contract specifically prohibits a player from using illegal drugs and there’s not a player in professional baseball who didn’t/doesn’t know that steroids are illegal to possess and use without a legitimate doctor’s prescription and supervision. And frankly, the types of juice these guys were taking and the doses involved would never be used in any legitimate medical condition. To say these players were doing nothing wrong and violating no rules or regulations is simply incorrect.
