Steroid use

Jake - your assertion is flawed. Professional athletes profit from the

perception that their talent is natural and honed. This is not an argument of

individual rights, but rather integrity, and does not affect Amesh's position at all.

Professional athletes' drug use has little consequence so long as the sports

consumer is willing to condone such behavior by continuing to put money in

their pockets. Titles only have as much meaning as they imply to those who

actually care and are hardly on par with civil liberities. If you feel that certain

sports figures have "ill-gotten" gains, then boycott. Suggest that those who are clean not tolerate steroid use. But not confuse this scenario with reality and individual rights.
