I find this entire discussion to be silly. The reason kids so steroids is to enhance their chance of going professional in whatever sport they play. This is driven by our society's insistance on paying millions to watch these people play professionally. If you don't understand that this is insanity, the average school teacher nationally earns less than 30k per year. A new serviceman or woman at the rank of E-1 through E-3 qualifies for food stamps if they are married with a child. The real point isn't who is or isn't juicing. The question is why do we idolize these people who in reality, add nothing valuable to the society as a whole except for pitting us against one another when our favorite teams play each other.

And the witchhunt continues
Don't misunderstand my feelings, I love a good game as much as any red-blooded American should. I just try to keep myself grounded. Andru Jones testifying about the Gold Club in Atlanta wasn't an important event in my life. McGuire juicing, Jeremy Shockey being homophobic Barry Bonds running for class president. I just think there are better things to talk about. If St Louis wants McGuire to speak who the hell cares. It is only important because we give credence to it. We cant complain about sensationalism when we chase after it like starving hounds.
