Why yes, of course, having a bunch of thugs hyped up on steroids and all sorts of crap as role models for the nation's youth is a great idea. By all means, let's ignore it, so the younger athletes will get an early start. They'll start doing all those wonderful things that abusing steroids and other drugs lead to at an earlier age. Let them wreck their minds and bodies, and wreak havoc on their surroundings. Great idea. And anyone who thinks steroid abuse in pro sports has no trickle down effect on youth sports is only fooling himself. I saw it myself, 30 years ago. Better living and better athletes through chemicals. It's brilliant.

Sports, from high school on up, but especially college and pros, needs a massive house cleaning, in a major way. The behavior tolerated by "athletes" is out of control.
