What's wrong with it is that it makes the sport the exclusive domain of those who are prepared to take pharmaceutical concoctions.

Those who wish to play the sport but are not prepared to fill their bodies with drugs are effectively excluded. Unless of course, they are prepared to play second fiddle to the juiced up supermen who surround them and don't mind getting their butts kicked, week in and week out.

Performance enhancing drugs take sport one further step away from its original purpose.

No. Performance enhancers like steroids are ALREADY BANNED by the various leagues. Using them is cheating. Keeping them legal for the general populace does not mean that the leagues need to make them legal as well. You guys just don't frigging get that do you? All you see is one more thing for your political heros to feel good about as they are banning something icky.

How about when they get around to AWB Part 2? Will you still feel so sanguine about them banning stuff outside their Constitutional mandate then?
