This is in the news so much again that I wanted to hear everyone's views on the matter.

My personal opinion is that prior to 2005, when MLB caught up to the rest of the sports world, it wasn't cheating. The way I see rules and cheating is simple, if it ain't in the rules it ain't illegal.

I also find it hard to believe that there are people who think this is the first era of sports that people used drugs to try to get ahead. Hell, Grant Fuhr, one of the greatest goalies in hockey history admitted to bumping lines before games to "get up".

How many players have had a drink, a smoke, taken pain killers, and other substances to get themselves ready for a game?

I also don't see how steroids are as big a help to hitters as they are making it sound. Yes, if you are stronger you can hit the ball further, but the vision problems associated with steroid use certainly aren't helping them make any contact.

My biggest complaint about the steroid issue is that this isn't the governments problem!!! Why are my tax dollars being wasted cleaning up a drug problem in a private company?

Enough of my rant. What does everyone else think?
