I've been thinking about Steroids

Some people stretch the rules just to see what they can get away with. Just sort of a side game to the real action.

But in the other major league sports, the ones in which millions of children in the country participate in
(as opposed to drag racing) look up to all these men and women as heroes. They wear their brand of shoes, wear their jersey numbers, or buy their their brand of equipment based on endorsements.

Do we as Americans as a whole want our children to grow up thinking that steroids or other forms of human growth hormones are the way to go?
Will parents look the other way if their teenage son suddenly starts bench pressing 150# more than everyone else if they think it will mean their child will become the star, or may increase their chances of getting a college athletic scholarship?

It all comes down to character
