You're right about the emotional approach to the discussion. I'm guilty of it too in baseball. I hate seeing a jerk like Barry Bonds put his name about the all-time greats in the record books by blantantly cheating and disrespecting the game. There IS some truth to the "cheater" allegations though.

I'm with you though, the affects of this behavior goes much further than just cheating. The physical problems it causes and the affects it has on the families of the drug users is real and it's horrible. I did a research paper on steroids way back in high school when it was looked at as an uncommon occurence. Also, when the standard is set that to suceed in pro sports, you have to use drugs in training, it will trickle down to college and high school kids who have aspirations to someday go pro.
