There is no honor in this type of " victory." It eliminates the very reason to gather and draw a starting line and a finish line. It reduces the event to a function of chemistry, nothing more.

Its not whether you win or loose but how you play the game. Remember that old saying?? Well if you do you are one of the few who does. From the little tots to the pros. Winning is everything. It should be banned but taken real seriously one time and your out of all sports forever. NO exceptions. That goes for the player and the coach and anyone above them. Either that or just throw the whole mess away.

Soon they' ll be handing out blue ribbons for the best steroid cocktail. I can hear it now. " Athletes? Oh, you mean those people we pump full of drugs to see which drug works the best. Oh yeah, I remember them. We used to call them lab rats."

You know, it' s bad enough that there is such a thing as the " World Anti-Doping Agency" but to have a name such as Dick Pound as the chairman makes me giggle.

I imagine this is going to spill over to football and all other sports. When I played college football in the late 60' s, you had to take steroids to compete. Just about everyone on the team could bench 500 pounds by the time their freshmen year was done. After two months of steroids, I chose not to take them because of the side effects. I don' t regret it.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be in 1st place and a winner. That is what makes us work harder and become better at what we do and who we are in life. But people who do these types of things are losers. They did not accomplish anything once they stepped out side the rules or used any form of chemical to enhance their preformance.
Dope and Loser will always be two words closely associated
