Whether steroids are illegal to the public is not an issue. Baseball has ruled they give a player an unfair advantage. Every job has its rules. If you don't follow them, you're gone. I get even more pissed off that "roach" ricky is returning to the dolphins. He has to "provide for his family". Yeah, taking a year's hiatus, to smoke in some tent. Try doing this. When you're tested for drugs at work, tell them you're retiring to see the world. Then come back one year later after your money's gone. We get arrested, he gets his job back (nice money too)

Palmeiro took powerful steroid
Every athlete that's "doped up" and been caught has had some excuse. I would respect some guy who said "I'm sorry, I tried to get ahead of the next guy, I was wrong". You know what a great deterrent would be? If, instead of suspending an athlete, have him work, roll up his sleeves, clean toilets, scrub floors, and pay him crap for a year. I'll guarantee you these guys would stay straight
