<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>Perhaps this is the wrong forum to ask, since I
am<BR>likely to be preaching to the choir. But I ask you,<BR>what is so
bad about pro athletes taking steroids? I<BR>can think of several good
things about it: they will<BR>map out the territory, by demonstrating what
happens<BR>with intense long-term use, point out the health<BR>problems
associated with them. So why not? <BR><BR>Trying to figure out
ways to beat the urine and blood <BR>tests will push medical technology
forward. We may <BR>discover some great cures by trying to pump up
athletes. <BR><BR>The fans want to see big pumped up guys swat
the<BR>balls into the bleachers, so they can catch them<BR>and auction them on
eBay. And what is so bad about <BR>preaching to the choir?
Couldn't a sinner infiltrate <BR>the choir? Hey, that might actually be
kinda cool, <BR>an under cover secret-agent sinner in the choir. That
<BR>would be the right place for her anyway, since there<BR>she would be
praught to, early and often.<BR><BR>Europeans, are your athletes doing
steroids
too?<BR><BR>spike<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>extropy-chat
