Not just that, but no one is on an equal playing field. That is why Independent, Random tests should be conducted of all pro athletes. I read an article regarding from an NBA player this year that he gets his advantage through good nutrition. He hired a chef to cook every meal for him and saw a nutritionist regularly

But then, Baseball is not quite the same. I think it was Babe Ruth that had such a love for hot dogs and cigarettes.

I was saying that in MLB who cares if they take steroids. In high school it is the parents and coaches responsibility to make sure the players are not using steroids. In college the NCAA is pretty tough on steroids, and it once again falls on the coaches also to make sure players are not using steroids. steroids have been in MLB for over 20 years and the natural beauty of baseball is tarnished and gone. records are gone due to this rampant use but baseball has become more appealing to the general public.

In all other sports steroids give a far and away advantage as they are more physically demanding (i.e. basketball players with jumping and rebounding; football players...well that's self-explanatory; hockey players with hitting the puck at a goalie and hitting eachother, not to mention they already fight all the time). Steroid use in these sports should have major punishments
