Now from here on out, if anybody does something great or unbelievable in sports, are people just going to assume they are on steriods??? I know its something that has to be tested for, and i'm glad everyone is cracking down on it, but it seems to be going too far

true...true...
I'm a big fact finder and like to know all of the information...but this definitely feels like it's gone way overboard and now I would rather just be a naive fan and enjoy the games. The games are pure...even if some of the competitors aren't.

What bothers me is the sports media presents it like performance
enhancing drugs have only been around for a decade or so. They
have been around alot longer than that. I bet the the hall of fame
is half full of users.

Go Sinton Pirates and Lady Pirates! I also like old movies like "Dawn at Socorro." I also like the Tour de France. I like the Pelican West Band located at South Padre Island, Texas. Phil is PhiI is Bill is the compassion police. He is also the Sinton Matador. Some call him the Sinton Prophet. {Also Captain Obvious.
} BEWARE OF THE HOWLING BEAR! He's going for the Corner - he's got it! Roy Orbison rules.

and another thing is, why do people give Barry Bonds such a hard time, but Jason Giambi has seemingly gotten away scott free.. he was just as guilty as Bonds, and looks like he might be on steriods again.. why are no steriod chants started when he comes to bat? why don't people throw syrnges at him??

The whole substance abuse issue needs to be clearly defined and firm policy stated by every sport. Either go to a "0 tolerance"
policy with teeth, or leave the issue alone altogether---the ambivalence in regulation and enforcement plus misundertandings with "gray" areas are runining professional sports.Last edited by Bullaholic; 07-27-2006 at 12:03 PM.
