No, but they all use them anyway.

In the interest of fairness, no.

for baseball and all sports, it should be split in to two categories. enhanced and regular. it should be banned and should end a career in the regular category, and should be mandatory in the enhanced category.

Years ago, baseball players weren’t even allowed to lift weights. Now they all look like hormone pumped steers and that just ain’t right. If they need drugs and performance enhancers to play the game, maybe its time to get a job more suitable to their body type.

I hear being a highway toll taker pays pretty good. =)

The thing is they should do something with identifying players that have use enhancers and who have not. The other thing is if they are not going to regulate it they might as well leglalize it

No I think it’s taking away from the sport. Sports change when you introduce things into them that make the players be capable of doing things that they really shouldn’t be able to do. It was fine the way it was, it doesn’t need to involve drugs and fake hormones and shit.

I think Major League baseball under the guidance of medical professionals should give every player either a fake performance enhancer or a real one but treat every player as if they are getting the real deal. Then only Major League baseball would know who is getting the drugs and then follow the players through out the year and see which ones did better than the others. I think if you tracked it that way where players had no idea if they were getting a fake steroid or a real one and you continued drug testing so you would know which players were taking steriods on their own you would see that it is mind over matter. Steroids are a crutch that can boost confidence and is more mental than physical. Sure you get stronger and can work out harder and not get fatigued but I don’t know of a steroid that enhances hand to eye coordination. I can give you the ten biggest dudes in my gym and they couldn’t hit a 85 mph fastball if their shrinking testicles depended on it. The scenario that I presented would never happen but it would be interesting to see if in fact ,the players, major league baseball gave real steriods to really improved. I think that Barry Bonds is more of a product of smaller fields and a juiced up baseball than steriods. I mean his home runs were not just barely making it over the fence the majority of them were crushed. Had he not allegedly taken steriods the balls still would have been homeruns. Just Sayin

I say hell yeah.

Sports are fucking entertainment. And non-juiced people aren’t entertaining.

The entertainment value kind of deflates when I know the players have been enhanced. It would be like watching a guy play Goldeneye with an invincibility cheat on. Or something.

Not fun.

Anything to speed up that sport and make it less boring to watch. Speedballs and anything stronger should be legalized only for baseball players.

No, they shouldn’t. But they effectively already are. How many people have admitted to – or been caught – using steroids? To cheating in the game? Yet they’re still playing, still making more money in a year than you or I will see in our lifetime. Declaring something “illegal” is meaningless if there’s no punishment for committing the “crime”.
