I have always thought the anti-doping rage a bit odd - without writing an essay, Sports Illustrtated had a great op-ed piece around 2008 re what would you rather watch: steroid baseball or non-steroid baseball. The clear implication being that the value (entertainment/spectecle/super-human feats are excentuated by PEDs). It is, ultimately, another form of "nutrition".
- douche 10y agoBaseball has gotten very boring since the crusade to clean it up. I miss the days when homerun records were in jeopardy every season.
- kurthr 10y agoIf by "nutrition" you mean that it can cause a variety of disorders and premature death... It's hard to claim that all athletes who want to fairly compete should be also forced to use them, unless we really want to encourage death sports. Note also, that the race to find new steroids that are less detectable has not necessarily corresponded to finding those that are more safe and effective.
