While I am by no means saying steroids should be allowed in professional sports, I am definitely saying that the "witch-hunt" is a little ridiculous and even worse, doesn't make sense. This is from Marvin Miller, the MLBPA's founder:
"On the argument that steroids should be eliminated from the game because of health concerns: "Not one but two surgeons general have said that tobacco use is the worst cause of death in the United States that can be prevented--that we lose over 400,000 people a year to tobacco-related incidents and over time it runs into the millions. Yet not only do we not outlaw tobacco, but the U.S. Congress keeps giving subsidies to the tobacco industry and everybody sits back and smiles. On the other hand, there's not one single documented death from the use of steroids. So that's a hypocritical lie."
Why do people get so worked up over steroids? Why can't people get all riled up like they do for 'roids, but for tobacco? Or aclohol abuse? Or even aspirin (look it up, aspirin is pretty clearly more dangerous than steroids)?
On a side note, I just finished up my free article "5 Reasons You're Wasting Your Workouts". Yiu can get it by typing in your e-mail on the top right of your screen. Some good stuff there I've never spoken about. Check it out.
