Opposing views: Steroids back in the news: Should an athlete be denied the right to compete if he or she tests positive?

Abstract:
I was raised to believe cheating and stealing are wrong. Don't cheat in school, don't cheat your friends and don't take something that is not rightfully yours.

Steroid use among professional athletes is cheating. It doesn't matter how it's worded¬ to make it seem like it's not a big deal - because it is....

Ted Rudow III,MA 10/11/07 YES! "The link toward violence and steroids is a fact! "How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs; how they understand the alleged steroid-violence link..." ("Bodybuilding, Drug and Risk," Lee Monaghan)


It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it!


Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily bad for our kids' behavior, clearly something is going on here. Parents, school administrators and coaches need to get a grip on it."

Ted Rudow III,MA Terror is big business
"George W. Bush is the imperial president that James Madison and other founders of this great republic warned us about... thus eschewing the alarms of Thomas Jefferson as to the deprivation of the inalienable rights of free citizens...",Robert Scheer
Bush betrayed Congress, which in turn betrayed the American people--just as Madison feared when he wrote: "Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it compromises and develops the germ of every other."
The "War on Terror" is the perfect war--it keeps the economy rolling, as all wars do,provides jobs and generates taxes, gives the government greater control over almost every aspect of life, and will never end, because how can you be sure you've nabbed all the terrorists? And trying to stop them is too lucrative a business to give up!
