If you aint cheatin, you aint tryin...

As someone once said

Tylenol is a performance enhancing drug. Anbesol is a performance enhancing drug. Who the hell cares. Jose and Ozzie were identical twins. One was great,one was mediocre. Bottom line if you suck you probably suck whether u use or don't use.

Things will start getting interesting when gene doping become a viable option(and it isn't that far off).

Where do you live? Where I grew up, half the football players were on steroids.

Preach

We need our own separate league for all of this steroids stuff. Superhuman men who play at the highest capacity that our bodies can illegally allow. Steroids that give us NBA Jam leaps. We need man vs cheetah rugby. We need basketball with land mines in the lane. NFL Blitz come to life. We'd buy that for a dollar.

I don't think we quite there yet breh

I agree to this to a certain extent but that is the mortality of being an athlete...these people are not Gods. A lot athletes don't do the right things outside PEDs to stay on top of their game.

- Stop drinking and smoking and partying all night.
- Getting 8-10 of sleep a day. If they only get 5-6 after a game. They still can take afternoon naps after morning practice to recover. Sleep can keep hormones at the level that they are supposed to be at.
- Proper training and diet helps as well. Heavy squats and other oly workouts triggers the body to boost testosterone and HGH levels naturally but a lot athletes don't want to put in the work.

If you are not willing to do these things...how can I consider an athlete a professional?

Good point so basically you want young athletes with millions of dollars to do what any young person with million of dollars would do (such as enjoy the life that they are living)

They need to be disciplined in their craft.A person playing a kid's game should be happy in and out of season and they get paid real well for it. They are essentially having fun year round if you really think about it. Be careful what you wish for, because if rich people start trying to do genetic engineering I don't want to hear any complaining that poor people are at an advantage. at the thought of cacs being able to field a team full of white versions of Lebron.

So if you just OK PED's...you are going to have an even more uneven playing field because the athletes with the biggest contracts will have access to the best drugs...

However, if sports put a stipulation in like "you can use whatever you want but the most you could pay for it is XXX and you have to show us the receipts" then it could work

And anyone who says PED's don't matter are kidding themselves...PED's got Rashad Lewis a 100 mil contract...It got A Rod a second 200 + mill contract....it pretty much gave Jason Giambi a MLB career period...It turned Mark and Sammy into superstars...

Wizards awful front office got Rashad Lewis that awful contract he never deserved it and PED's had nothing to do with it
