As far as the dope goes all I can say is thats a shame. The sport doesnt matter, and I bet that in any sport about 35-45% of them use them to try and better themselves. Even still, there are those who stand out as being better then the rest, without the dope, just pure natural talent. Barry Bonds is having a good year, and had a great one last year, and he makes an unreal amount of money, but why didnt he ever show signs of playing like that before? Personally I think he didnt like being refered to as #2 best all around ball player (to Ken Jr) nothing really to prove that, just what I think from watching baseball over the years. Great players like lets say Micheal Jordon are rare, dope can make the just above average players play at that level, it's not hard to see why so many do it. From what I have heard doing some of that crap can make people more violent too (just like any other hard drug) then think about some of the athletes who have not done well with the spectators or press. Mike Tyson, Jose Conseco, Barry Bonds, I could go on and on. Think about someone like Dale Murphy, guy who played baseball for years for the Braves, great player, think he should be in the hall someday for sure, one of those great all around players, (could hit, hit for power, defense, speed, arm) every day players, he never did anything but good for the game, on or off the field.
