2 pitchers from the cincinatti reds, 1 from the new york mets, and 1 from the kansas city royals all recieved 50 games suspensions yesterday for violation of the leagues substance abuse policy
seems to be a growing problem in the world of sports.. 3 of these cases were proformance enhancing substances, and 1 was drug abuse

Why the fuck do they care what these people take? It's ridiculous.

Wow.
That's one of the single dumbest things I've read on the Shroomery in ages.
They should get to the top and stay at the top on the basis of their physical prowess, they are part of a legacy of athletes, they shouldn't have to feel the need to juice themselves up to break records. It's bullshit.

I think the romantic aspect of the old days of baseball is the only objection to it.
People don't watch the game to see "natural" men. They watch it to see home runs and outrageous scores. Same with all sports. If steroids help, so be it. I couldn't give a fuck less what these people use as long as they entertain me.

Here's my arguement against steroids....
Honestly, I dont give a fuck if someone wants to hurt themselves taking this shit. The problem I have is that it puts pressure on OTHER athletes to take these drugs too, regardless of whether they want to or not, in order to compete w/ the drug freaks. I dont care if someone WANTS to take steroids, but it has to be illegal in sports so that nobody feels that they HAVE to.
And regardless of your arguement, thats how it would turn out.
