If the Senate/Gov. really is trying to get rid of steroids then how about starting with the Mr. Olympia competitions or WWF. You don't get that freakishly big eating wheaties. but lets turn a blind eye to the most obviouse steroid users and attack football and baseball. Have we checked the golfers yet......never know, how about tennis, we won't talk about hocky.

No offense intended SBXVII, but I find that sentiment repulsive. The idea that we should turn a blind eye to ANYTHING that is wrong simply because it is pervasive is crazy. People steal cars all the time and, when judgment time comes in court, the theft occurred in the past. But that doesn't mean we should ignore it.

Unchecked abuses only serve to encourage cheating at the expense of those who do things the right way from day 1.

Absolutely agree.
Those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. It's true on many levels...you need to put a stop to all cheating or it will just continue. And sorry to say, Deion will never have my respect. He was a HORRIBLE person until he supposedly found God. For him to say to basically move on, just means to me that we shouldn't. If Barry Bonds said not to investigate steroids in baseball, would you listen? I'm not calling a Deion a cheater, but I would guarentee he would partake (and maybe he did during his career) if the option showed itself.
