I dont really give a damn, they want smaller testicles and back hair so they can hit a ball with their stick so be it. What pisses me off is the fact that the Government is wasting and has wasted so much friggen time on this crap. How many tax dollars do we need to spend on something so stupid. If this was going on at Microsoft, their would be a POLICE investigation and the people would be charged and tried. But in this case we have to stop the government for days on end for hearings and grandstanding when these fuckers should be behind closed doors trying to figure out ways to get our troops in Afganistan and Iraq the equipment they need to do the job. as Forrest Gump would say "Thats all I got to say about that"

Great Point KT!!!

There have been a great deal of debates on this issue and at the end of the day it comes down to certain players having an advantage over other players due to the fact that they did roids. This effects pay, who makes the cut, etc. At the end of the day it goes towards the intergrity of the person and what they are willing to do to make that extra dollar and the the intergrity of the league as a whole.

We all know what happened after the stike, they lost a great deal of money. The stands were empty for a long time. They finally get the fans back and this... wow.

Hmmm, wonder what would happen if they tested the NFL players.... drum roll please.

How much did this inquiry cost the USA? If they would have had the proper test in place from the beginning this would never have happened.. at least not to this extent.
