Perhaps this is the wrong forum to ask, since I am
likely to be preaching to the choir.  But I ask you,
what is so bad about pro athletes taking steroids?  I
can think of several good things about it: they will
map out the territory, by demonstrating what happens
with intense long-term use, point out the health
problems associated with them.  So why not?  

Trying to figure out ways to beat the urine and blood 
tests will push medical technology forward.  We may 
discover some great cures by trying to pump up athletes.  

The fans want to see big pumped up guys swat the
balls into the bleachers, so they can catch them
and auction them on eBay.  And what is so bad about 
preaching to the choir?  Couldn't a sinner infiltrate 
the choir?  Hey, that might actually be kinda cool, 
an under cover secret-agent sinner in the choir.  That 
would be the right place for her anyway, since there
she would be praught to, early and often.

Europeans, are your athletes doing steroids too?
