tour de france winner floyd landis' 2nd test sample should be tested by saturday and will be the final say on whether he used performance enhancing drugs.
my question is why don't we let professional athletes take drugs? olympic athletes or amateur athletes - no - that would be against the spirit.
mark mcguire did steroids. barry bonds did something. jason giambi did something and then got cancer in his pituitary gland. professional sports is for our entertainment. these atheletes have a choice just like everyone else how they choose to treat their bodies. these atheletes are just like actors. they can freely choose an easy path to riches by artificially enhancing themselves.. do i care if lindsay lohan uses diet drugs? i also don't care if paris hilton used viagra in her sex tapes. is cher banned from entertaining because all of her body parts might not be real?
so if you are an professional athlete or actress, take drugs, don't take drugs, i don't care. i don't see why other people should care either. as long as i'm entertained - its all good.
