Response to: "Sporting Steroids: Ban the Ban?"

By: TOBIN HARSHAW

I must say, I am in complete agreement with Harshaw's Sporting Steroids: Ban the Ban.  Thousands of competitive athletes use sports enhancing supplements and growth hormones.  Thousands don't...but only because they don't need to.  Plenty of athletes all ready have the genetic make-up to compete without using any outside enhancers or supplements.

That being said, if steroids are illegal, then how is that fair to those without the genetic make-up for the competitive sport?  If steroids were legal, it would be more fair to everyone.  Everyone would have the same opportunities and no one would have an advantage over another.

Think about it.... you're a competitive bodybuilder trying your hardest to place within the top 5 in your weight class.  Unfortunately, you are not genetically gifted in the physique area, but you're up against hundreds who are.  Is that fair?  Is it fair that you can't place or win your title because of the genetically gifted competitors?  The legalization of steroids would create a level playing ground for everyone.

BAN THE BAN!
