    A shame an Olympic legend has turned out to be a fraud. But not surprising, athletics is probably the dirtiest sport around when it comes to steroid abuse. :jayzus:

    It's a fact that we need to do it. And I didn't say sports, I said professional sports/athletics competitions.

    Yup, that was it.

    I think professional is okay. I just think that there needs to be an "extra" league for those who feel the need to do steroids/EPO/etc. That way we could watch them destroy themselves in a matter of years and learn a true lesson.

    That you don't have one. You're just jealous that the athletes got all the chicks in high school.

    A lot. Sponsorships, speaking engagements, royalties from their image on things like cereal boxes and such.
