Testing

Should there be random testing in high school for performance enhancing drugs?

Role Models?

Are professional athletes role models in todays modern society?

Is their too much abuse of drugs or way too many crimes of modern athletes to concider them role models but one could also argue that not all athletes commit bad deeds.

What do you think?

Steroids in baseball?

So what do you think.... The whole steroid scandal in baseball has completly blown up. Practically every good player in the past 15 years is now being accused of using performance enhancing drugs. Is the media and the government blowing this out of porpotion or is this really serious?
