okay, so, just for the sake of argument, amids all this Giambi confession and the need of an asterix by all of Barry Bonds' records, just how much of a problem are steroids? consider: we just learned that some 40 percent of Americans are on some kind of constant medication - the line between pharmaceuticals that actually cure illness and those that enhance our quality of life (viagra, anyone?) is getting blurrier all the time. what is health, after all, if not somewhat relative? our cultural norm is that drugs that do not harm you are perfectly legit in increasing your enjoyment of life, or enhancing your ability to perform certain tasks. Why, then, are steroids so illegitimate in sports? yes, they can harm a body, but only if taken in excess and outside a doctor's supervision. yes, it's unfair when some players use them and others don't. but the answer to that might just as well be universal steroid use as a universal ban. the notion that there is some "pure" human being out there - unaffected by the technology that now enhances our lives in so many ways - is fiction. i'm not that comfortable with a steroid free-for-all; but I'm having a hard time coming up with good arguments as to why I shouldn't be.
