Just make steroids legal. I automatically think that 90% of pro athletes are on them.

Completely agree.

I just want to be entertained! If that means you have to inject yourself with panther piss and cocaine, then go for it! Two-fricks will not be given by me!

i don't either, but it's this bullshite about attacking MLB, where as NLF is 10x the juicers, and wife beaters and get no hate.

For christs sake, Congress went after baseball, and while NFL,NHL,etc were there, they said nothing to them. But waved their finger at MLB, and forced that dog and pony show.

George Karl is a sad person. As I'm sure it exists, he has no factual proof PEDs are rampant in the association. He even stated he had no first hand knowledge. The only people that are going to like him moving forward, are those who hate basketball.

This is one of the inevitabilities of professional sports. Paying players ultimately ruins the spirit of the game. There's just no way around that, ultimately.

As for going to Germany, players go there to recover from injury. They do some kind of recovery there that isn't available in the U.S.


A number of procedures are available in Germany that you cannot get in the U.S.

Even college players head over the pond. Wisconsin's RB, Corey Clement, for example, went to Germany in 2015 after suffering a sports-hernia injury.

Outside of straight up taking HGH, I personally couldn't distinguish where the arbitrary line is between a very regimented diet and exercise routine with supplements and a player using substances for an unfair advantage.

The regulatory agencies seem to be able to, but I also know regulatory agencies are driven by many things that have absolutely nothing to do with what they're supposed to regulate.

So frick it, let them juice. I'm still pissed Griffey Jr. didn't juice (or juice more). Think about Griffey with Bonds level HGH? Create a player shite.

Look at Lebron going bald from all that juice. George should've just called him out by name.

I feel like he's talking about Kobe with the Germany comment. IIRC, Kobe was the first major name in basketball to start this trend when he went for treatments on his knees.

Fwiw, I would be surprised if he juiced. Kobe was never some super jacked physical specimen compared to his peers. His work ethic was legendary of course tho so idk

Good. PEDs should be required in professional sports.
