"People say, How could you ethically take steroids? I take the view, How couldn't you? We're not talking about whether you're going to make $5,000 if you take them. We're talking about a $100 million contract. You're talking about being a good player or being the best player of all time. If I was a really good athlete, I could be a whisker away from millions of dollars just by taking something with no known health hazards at the time. All those guys in baseball — it wasn't against the rules at the time. From a fan perspective, we demand the best out of all of our athletes. We push it to such a limit. We demand that the ball go farther, that players jump higher. We're not as interested in sportsmanship as we are in excellence."John Brenkus - The Perfection Point

When in the world will one of these supposed athletic Alphas stand up and tell those Viagra-poppin', Prozac swallowin' GMOs (government-modified orifices) that in America there is NO LAW against performance-enhancement?
Uh huh...
Thordaddy is correct - America IS a society based on performance-enhancing drugs.
