They ought to let them take what they want, "Hale" if they want to have the problems that come later in life from the use of steroids so be it. JUST don't cut them any slack and say "OH sorry you have these problems, let us give you this help." Instead say "well you have to pay the fiddler if you want to dance, you are all grow up and if you made choices that are stupid so be it. Live with it like an adult and stop crying like a child.
There has been no for the love of the game in professional sports in 30+ years, when you got millionairs(SP?) going out on strike and whinning about crap, they lost the love of the game long ago. DO NOT get me wrong if I could find somebody to pay me Millions for what I do I'd take it in a heart beat, so I don't fault them for being paid lots of money, "HALE" that is way people go to work, so they can make money. The fans are as much to blame as anybody else they want a winner, they don't care why,how or what as long as their team wins.
I quit watching MLB after the 1987 strike and will not watch it again unitl after the mid point of the 2012 season, I figure in 25 years the cry babies that were there in 87 will be gone. I can't even tell you who won the World Series. I may watch the NLB agian for years or for 1 game depending on if the players start whinning again. The pukes are sports stars they put their pants on the same way as everybody else 1 leg at a time.
