Four Personal Suspects

[GhostofDempsey]

If we follow that dynamic, we are saying that anyone who wants to compete at the professional level has to put his health at risk with PEDs.

Someone who naturally has the ability to hit a fast ball still won't be able to deliver that extra twenty feet you speak of, teams will then only take guys using PEDs.

By looking the other way, saying its effects are negligible to the game, we would make its use unofficially mandatory.

Nope, not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is PED use is not going to improve a fighter's skills. They won't take Rod Salka or Reggie Strickland to the top of their divisions. Yes, they can give an edge to someone who already has the skill set to complete at the top level like Jones, Mosley, Holyfield. Unfortunately they can also transform a fighter and provide a significant boost in power (JMM) that can give them an advantage.
