Tobias, with all due respect -- because I see what you're saying -- I disagree. Roids, if tolerated, would be abused at a greater level. Roids do precisely what you say. I'm not arguing that, but they allow the taker to work out faster, harder, and for a longer period of time than the non taker. Now, I'm no expert, but I've had personal trainers and one current NFL player tell me that. Do we allow players to get prescriptions for Roids in the interest of recovery? I'm not necessarilly against that other than to say there are a lot of Dr's that'll prescribe anything if the price is right.

I disagree with the statement "if they don't do it their bodies wouldn't be able to take the punishment". I'm willing to bet there are NFL players that don't take roids and play the game for many years. If a guy uses roids for otherwise honest reasons -- like recovery from injury -- he's doing something other players don't have to do.

Lots of drugs have valid uses, but there are tons of examples of misuse causing tragedy.

C'mon Man...
