Thing is with baseball, is everyone was doing it, and it wasn't exactly against the rules...
And think about it. Kids take meds to do better in school, men take meds to do better in the bedroom, athletes take meds to do better on the field.

Really? you compare viagra to roids? Since when does someone get paid millions to perform on viagra and at the same time compete against someone legit with thousands of young fans watching....no way the two are similar in ethics or performance.
