The NBA is dealing with the Tim Donaghy gambling scandal, and the NFL is being dogged by Michael Vick. What is Major League Baseball dealing with? It's still steroids.

Baseball players may seem larger than life on the field, but they're still just people off of it. We shouldn't be so quick to attack them whenever controversy arises.

I'm sure every Texas Rangers fan remembers former slugger Rafael Palmeiro wagging his finger at Congress while stating, under oath, that he had never done steroids.

Palmeiro was suspended five months later for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

President Bush even discussed the issue in his 2004 State of the Union Address.

Hey fans, what's your opinion?

1. I think people should be skeptical of steroid use it is the edge of edges when competing professioanly second i don't think people that are known for use should win world records like barry bonds.

2. But then again people should keep there mouths shut because they have no idea what they are talking about. First thing you hear out of someones mouth if you ask them about steroids is your dick will shrink. Furthermore, these people have no idea what kind of dedication it takes to stay fit then go beyond that stage and remain there they have no idea what it would take to sit down and inject your self with foreign substance so people should mind there own business and watch the fire works.
