Michael Phelps takes a hit from a bong in the above picture and his world turns into a soap opera. Because of the infamous picture seen above, Phelps now has lost endorsements like Kelloggs and Subway, which did take Phelps back after his official apology. He’s also been suspended for 3 months from swimming competitions. We think it’s funny that Subway would even consider dropping Phelps knowing that they help fend off the munchies for stoners nationwide. That’s why the Meatball Subs are so popular.
Now we see that Alex Rodriguez is being outed for testing positive for steroids in 2003 and his punishment will be….uh, nothing.

we live in a society where people do drugs and cheat in sports. And we act like it’s never happened before. It’s pathetic.
Alex Roidriguez, aka A-Roid, is scum.
I’d like to know who the “friend” is who posted that picture.
I doubt he posted it. He probably sold it for millions, LOL!
Yeah, it’s all about the MONEY!
True. as a person.
But he is nowhere near as bad as those who oppose allowing medically administered steroids to boost the healing of athletes. Not even on his worst day. Not even if you combine him with Michael Vick.
One of the easy way to spot the ‘Roid users is their extended careers. They don’t tend toward career ending rotator cuff injuries that cut short the playing years of their predecessors.
People who oppose employing available medical technology that can prevent or lessen these injuries in sports - under whatever pretext - comparability of world records etc... anything - Are scummier than Alex Roidriguez or Michael Vick at their very worst.
That’s a stretch.
Oh your right. They should get medals instead.
Not even a tiny bit. Human health is worth more than paper records or dogs. and properly administered steroids can extend an athletes health into their fifth decade.
People who value compatibly of records made before this medical technology was available over the health of today’s athletes deserve every bit of scorn and disdain ordinary people who are not sports fans increasingly heap upon them.
I will note that you did not even attempt to deny that proper steroid use does not reduce injuries over this extended time. That is because you cant.
LOL..ok Homer.
And you will stoop to depreciating humor and back away from serious discussion if confronted on the issue.
Just make the health and suffering of real people a joking matter.
Because that is sure easier than examining the issue closely, now isn’t it? Especially given the inviability of the position you staked out.
Sounds like you are taking steroids...wound up like a top aren’t we? Try a chill pill and loosen up on the sphincter muscles. That’ll improve your longevity also.
Never was much for athletics. I played in the Marines, but it isn’t my preferred pass time.
try to pull back from your knee jerk reaction to being called on your indefensible position. You are now resorting to ad hominem attacks.
That really is of course your only choice other than a mea culpa in the long run.
Steroid use is completely justified from a medical standpoint. Leaving you no leg to stand on. Hence your post. Ad hominem is ALL you have left. Period.
Michael Phelps also got drunk and went behind the wheels. Where’s the outrage about that?
LOL
he went from a lean, girly looking young man into a roid machine.....and we sit there and clap for him...well, not me...
