But, you know, I don't care. In fact, I think performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed, perhaps even encouraged.

Consider that so many years have passed without testing for drugs that, to now, have a fit every time someone tests positive seems counter-productive. Maybe - Hell! LIKELY - many of yesteryears stars used some sort of drugs to alter their performance. Mickey is still the Mick and Ruth is still the Babe. So what if Bonds is taking injections? We have no way to guarantee that the sports records set before testing weren't achieved cleanly.

Personally, I'd like to see just what the human limits are in sports. Let the athletes choose whether to dope up. Sure, the ones that do are likely to perform better but they do so with the inherent risks of taking drugs.

But will drugs help that much? Can the record for the 100 meters dash be lowered substantially with drugs? Let's find out. Can the powerlifting records be upped substantially? Let's find out.

Screw the war on drugs. It's a lost cause. The more they test for steroids the more clever the steroid designers get. Kind of like software and piracy: new copy protections just mean new ways to deafeat them.

As for Barry Bonds, he's in an unusual situation. If he continues to play and ends up setting the all-time record for homeruns, people will complain that many of his homers were from steroids. But if he doesn't play they'll say that proves he was using steroids.
