I find it very sad.
Of course, I also don't believe that "performance enhancing drugs" should be illegal. After all, do they outlaw custom baseball bats, which are "performance enhancing?" Do they outlaw special racing shorts and shoes because they are "performance enhancing?"
Need I go on?
Actually, yes, you should go on...mainly because those examples are things available to every player, are not illegal and are not used "behind the scenes" to gain an advantage that other athletes are unable to obtain. These performance enhancing drugs are a convenience so that higher levels of performance can be achieved without putting the manual work in to achieve them as much as a person that does not take them has to.
Then there is the response to HGH in one person to the next...Lance Armstrong obviously was someone who highly benefited from these drugs, but the next guy in line may have had a negative reaction to it, or none at all...creating an unfair advantage amongst the pool of people attempting to achieve the same goal. I find illegal drug use in this light to be a despicable act in all sports, not just in Lance's case...baseball being the most prominent of the sports where this has been an issue lately, and honestly, those that were admitted to using or caught using it should be removed from the sport and no longer given a chance to get future achievements.
Bottom line, the drugs are illegal, are not available to every player in a consistent and regulated manner and should remain outlawed in my opinion. Why not train harder? Why not enhance your performance by making your body a more fit tool for the job naturally? These people use these drugs to get an easier advantage at the goal they are trying to achieve with the mindset that this is the more "convenient" path...
