I think sports are a foundation of a lot of people's lives. The competition, will to suceed and drive to be great are something that we all grew up with in some way, shape or form. For me, it came from sports. Playing football, being a Chicago sports fan, watching Michael Jordan play etc etc. Seeing them shit on what I thought was talent, hard work and perserverance (sp?) with enhancement drugs makes me sick to my stomach. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Jose Canseco were people I respected and while my life isn't flipped upside down, it's still disappointing. It's like realizing there's a catch to all the good stuff you believe in.

i get that.... though i also think it's a fairly pitiful state when people aren't saying, roids damage your body, that's why you shouldn't do them....
or you were cheating and you got caught so you get punished by taking money away, these people are not heroes and most people are a-holes and we should not fool ourselves into imagining that performance in a sport means anything about who they are as individuals....
some romantic idea about people being fair and what you believe in and these athletes being role models seems pretty childish once you get into your early 20's....
