I just wonder how long hes been using the prohibited steroids.
Yo smithers.... I didn't mention the NFL did I? They had the foresight to cleanup their act and enforce proper controls starting around 1987 (And, if I remember correctly, it was the players themselves that were the catalyst!) That isn't to say that there aren't still indivuduals who try to cheat (or, have you forgotten Bill Romanowski?) While I would absolutely like to believe in the purity of athletic competition, the point I tried to make is this. Atheletes are human beings first and as such, the lure of huge amounts of money can (and has) superceeded morals and common sense.
I've been trying to generate a little give a damn about this latest cheater and I guess I'm just too fried out on the whole drug scandals and I really just don't care anymore. I am going to assume that all professional athletes are cheating in some way or another. Either in the game, on their wives or on their taxes.
This is terrible. I think Gatlin vs. Powell has been great for track and field. I really enjoyed watching Landis win the Tour in heroic fashion. I have really enjoyed watching Bonds play baseball. I am getting to the point where I want to do away with this drug testing, so I can just enjoy sports in the moment again. I don't believe for a minute that the NFL doesn't have anyone doing drugs. What the NFL does have is a policy that tests mainly rookies and repeat offenders. And, even still, I would rather see Ricky Williams play for Miami than (not) play in the CFL.
With the influx of revalations coming to light it puts doubt in ones mind about any great sporting achievement - it wont be long before a chess champion fails! The good thing is judging from England recent World Cup experience - no of them are taking drugs - not enhancing ones at least!
