Hey Al,

I have a radical opinion about players and steroids. Maybe I'll call up later today and give it to you. Long story short...I have no problem with it. I agree with Allison Footer that there was no coincidence that they made this Tejada trade days before the report was scheduled to be released. MLB doesn't want steroids to end. They are making more money off of it then they ever were. If so why don't they test everybody every year? Me personally, this is just the evolution of Man, survival for the fittest. I'm also a big Ron Paul guy. - Keep the Government out of our lives. I don't like the Govt. telling us what we can and can't put in our bodies or do with our bodies. What a waste of tax dollars making this a Federal Case. Steroids are not regulated therefore you have people that don't know how to balance the chemicals...look at Giambi. However when these things are moderated and regulated by professional MD's, these things make you stronger, run faster, heal faster, increase immunity, all around help you live longer. Our bodies are made up of chemicals. We inject other chemicals in our bodies for depression, control our ADD, and get ting rid of infections. We use steroids for our noses during allergy season don't we? If that's the case where do you draw the line? What about those "greenies" that baseball players were taking in in the 70's. Do we investigate who took this? If so do take Hank Aaron and Nolan Ryan out of the Hall of Fame if we find them guilty of taking Greenies? If we want a ball organization of all natural abilities then should we regulate vitamins, special protein powders and have them only eat natural foods? I've written enough for a comment but I can talk about this for another 20 paragraphs. You are opening a whole new can of worms if you get me on this topic.
