How about we have two major leagues…
One for athletes who never put anything other than what god has provided (if you can kill it, drink it, or smoke it, it qualifies), and another league for athletes that will take anything that is produced in a lab, be it Sudafed or the latest in gene-doping.
Then, let the fans decide which league they want to watch. After the first league dies a quiet death after 10 years, we can all stop the hypocrisy and admit that we have failings as human beings that make us sick but are afraid to admit it.
We can also have three types of bars: one wear they serve alcohol and allow smoking as long as you are at least 16, serve alcohol with no smoking as long as you are 16, and one where they don’t allow either. Given the choice, there’s no question that you will choose either option 1 or option 2, even if that means you as an adult have to watch a 16yr old drink alcohol. (I’d also make the drving age 21, or equip cars with Breathalyzers tied to the ignition.)
