And another star athlete admits he might have taken PED

By Tangotiger, 10:42 AM

Guys have always been cheating. Period. It just takes a little different form today. I’m just glad they didn’t have steroids when I was playing. I don’t know what I would have done. It’s very difficult to go out and perform when you know the guy next to you is taking steroids or some kind of drug to make you perform better and not do it yourself, to let this guy get an edge on you.

As I keep saying, this is not a right/wrong issue. It’s a workplace issue, one to be decided by the players with balls enough to make a decision, or cowardly enough to let the others make the decision for them.

Hat tip: the incomparable Repoz.
