Currently golf even has a small cloud hanging over it after Gary Player came out with allegations of drug cheats in pro golf. It is only allegations at this point and he says he won't name anyone.

At least checkers is still a clean sport

Yeah, which makes it meaningless. One past his prime "senior tour" player says today's players are juicing.

Then again, Tiger Woods looks like Barry Bonds a few years ago. Dude is jacked.

I don't even really care about steroids. Everyone can take them, this levelling the playing field. It's the crap like dogfighting and point shaving that are really hurting sports right now.

I hate to admit it, but I take performance enhancing drugs while working on my arcade most of the time. It's not easy to say that in today's climate. I was weak...it was really hot in the garage...I had a Coke...I apologize.

What is that supposed to enhance?

BTW for the Tour de France it really stands at

VINOKOUROV Alexandre - Favorite to win the Tour, Failed a drug test, he left and His WHOLE TEAM left too (the team hadn't failed the blood tests)

RASMUSSEN Michael - Yellow Jersey - Leading the Tour - left the Tour at his teams insistence. No blood doping has yet been reported (but that is what is probably going on) [Edit:] Actually he got booted from his team because he did not show up for a pre-tour screening and did not account for his whereabouts. He was fined but in his case there is no evidence of doping. (at this point)

And of course there was the debacle last year bunch of riders popped in Operación Puerto

Oh and of course last year's winner Floyd Landis is still slugging it out in court, he has not yet been stripped of his title.

Peoples lives are going on right now in sports, just the bad parts it seems.

You can add the UFC to the steroids list. Both Hermes Franca and Sean Sherk tested positive for steroids.

ChadTower · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2007, 01:30:15 pm »

forgot about that one, that was a nice one. Title fight to reestablish the lightweight title and afterwards both guys fail drug tests... with one guy appealing, the one who looked like Chris Benoit's more muscular brother.

CCM · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2007, 01:50:26 pm »

Yea, Sherk is appealing. Franca admitted to making a mistake, he claimed he had an ankle injury that wasn't healing fast enough so he took something to help it along.

Dana White probably wants to kill both of them.

ChadTower · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2007, 01:53:18 pm »

Clearly Franca wasn't juicing to get big - he wasn't big. His story is credible, not that it makes any difference in the penalty.

ALl the drugs in sports talk always makes me think of this:
The All Drug Olympics

They should just add a "Modified" or "Top Fuel" class to all the most popular sports. Let them do whatever they like to their bodies.

But then the kids will be affected!

NFL-Thurman denied ANOTHER year. (Seems a bit harsh. Tell the guy he's got a one year suspension, it passes, then say "I know you paid your initial debt to the justice I meted out, but I decided to be a dick, and double it. You no play this year. HA HA!")

It's all about the tennis, baby. Federer vs Nadal.

Sports aren't all they're cracked up to be anymore. It's disappointing, to say the least.

Until we find out that Federer is a Cyborg (whose systems get gummed up by clay courts)

Can you please define "meecrob", it's not in any dictionary I've checked...

Well...if you aren't already juiced on caffine...then a Coke will definitely enhance your perceptions a tad.

I usually just drink beer...so the the shift was a big change.

Michael Strahan has made me happy.
