Just make a “Steroids League Baseball” and let the dopers duke it out there.
SNL’s All Drug Olympics
“Oh…..he’s pulled his arms off!!! That’s got to be disappointing…”
LMAO!
Back when SNL was much funnier a higher % of the time. Good Link.

Well first by being open about using if the stats. are going to matter. It should be a “level playing field.” Not only pitchers vs. hitters but the entire league roster……..
…………OR just quit keeping statistics .
714,60,61,56,.406 …..get outta town ……..!

Require everyone that is paid by baseball to take steroids. Then move the fences back.

It is a workplace and people who use PED’s will have an unfair advantage even though they may be doing a great deal of damage to their body. People who do NOT use PED’s will have a disadvantage and will not be rewarded for their hard work bc they did not want to use something harmful. I know life is not fair, but these guys signed a contract with the owners and a union to abide by rules put forth by their employers and agreed to them. If you go back on a contract (private contract law) there are repercussions to breaking it, ie suspended and lose of pay. There is nothing to debate because this is a private contract, not a freedom question.

Excellent reply Sic. Tough question and thoughtful answer. :)

The issue – any little league, high school or college player that has dreams of playing major league baseball would have to juice to get there. That’s why it is such a big issue.
But what do I know. I’ve got shit for brains

Not so sure it’s as easy as apples and apples.
We’ve established that smoking dope has some small potential harm to the human body (debatable if it is the same or less than cigarettes), we’ve also established that smoking dope (or drinking) and driving don’t go together. Those two possible dangers aside, who else does it hurt – simple whoever pays for the munchies: but nobody else.
On the other hand, we have unequivocally established that juicing has long term serious negative effects of the body including serious physical and mental damage (‘roid rage or shrunken testicles anyone?).
The work place argument holds water here. Why does MLB outlaw aluminum bats – two reasons, they make the game more dangerous and they’d have to build new parks. Why does MLB outlaw steroids – reason one plus the chance of damage to a marquee player. It begs the question – why has MLB been so lenient so long? Life time bans would send the message.
Pete Rose hurt no one with his gambling (he never bet against his own team) but he’ll never play another inning.
I don’t really care about sports much. Steroid use is their business. But I definitely disagree about your roid comments affects. Doctors have started handing this stuff out like candy to the oldie goldie crowd so they can get it up again. Not sure the jury is in on the damage aspect yet.
