Baseball refused to take a stance until Congress pushed them after newspaper articles and claims starting surfacing, stating that some of the big name players were using performance enhancing substances. It is up to the sanctioning body to form it's own rules on what substances are to be banned in their (for lack of a better word) sport. There is no law that says they have to ban anything. That's what congress is threatening to do. Need I mention pro wrestling?

Um...not wrong answer...just different interpretation. It is NOT banned in AMerica and it is available through prescription....HOWEVER...these athletes are obtaining them illegally and THEY KNOW it. So, if ANY of us got an illegal prescription would we be heald accountable??....YES. JUST LIKE they should be. Guess what else, if WE were held accountable...would we still have a job?..NO. BUT, they do.

It's a big $$ profitable BS market..that's all. It's not a freakin' sport anymore. And THAT is the sad part. WE all grew admiring these people...now, they don't play the game because 7 figures isn't enough. They should be paid 8 to entertain the public that spends their hard earned $$ to watch..and now we have to accept BS responses and accountability on enhancing drugs.. BS. It's gone too far.
