Other than the fact that if pros are required to use dangerous drugs to play, then 16 and 17 year olds will be required to use dangerous drugs to play in college and the minors (which in an of itself is reason to ban steroids in the bigs)-- the main problem I have against steroids is that I watch sports to watch humans compete as humans. I don't watch sports to watch robots or aliens or labratory mutants compete. The idea of watching a game where 30% of the performance and 75 feet of the home run and 25 percent of the muscle is due to human or bovine grown hormone or labratory injects doesn't appeal to me. This may appeal to the Fox Sports and video game generation, but it doesn't appeal to me.

I enjoy watching the occasional cartoon, science fiction show and playing a video game, but I watch or play knowing that it is fake and it is supposed to be fake. I don't watch sports for it to be fake, and, to me, players on steroids are fake and their achievements are fake.
