I use to like Baseball - now I hate it.

 USA today has reported-
Mark McGwire finally admitted Monday what he couldn't tell a Congressional committee nearly five years ago: His home-run hitting exploits, including his stirring 1998 run to the single-season record, were fueled in part by steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.

Its not the game - its the games the players play.

So insure and perform- they cheat.  So afraid they will be replaced, they take drugs so they can perform and stay ahead of the curve. Terrified they will lose money, fans, and life style. They cheat. 

We must have rules and laws.  If we don't then we have chaos.The sport becomes artificial, not real.

Here is the outrage.  Professional and some amateur athletes feel its ok to take performance-enhancing drugs. They feel everyone does it.  Why should I be different?  Even the fan say its ok.  Well its not ok.  No Way!

You are professional- you are a role model. If you have the guts to be one.  You were hired to do a job, but to do that job you have to cheat.

Professional athletes should be strong, unflappable, tough.  But many are not.  Just weak, privileged celebrities.
