I seriously disagree with performance enhancing drug use in sport. It's supposed to be man vs man. Not man vs man and chemical.

It is cheating, end of story. And it doesn't make it any more or less entertaining. The fact that Roger Maris's record stood for so long and watching so many people "attempt" to chase it was awesome. That was an appeal to baseball for me. Once McGuire broke it, I could care less about the sport. To think he might have been enhanced in breaking the record makes it even worse.



Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!!

If every player in the NHL was on an illegal performance enhancing drug, for example anabolic steroids, then their gains would be relatively equal.

No different than the "heated skate blade", it is supposed to make you skate faster...If all the players were to use the blades what would be the difference on the ice between players none...

The problem with These enhancing drugs are now the players are not competing against other players they are competing against doctors, and scientists, is this really what we want in hockey???

In the last winter Olympics some Doctors, and trainers were arrested because they had in their possession performance enhancing banned drugs. In Italy it is illegal to poses any of the banned WADA substances, and if caught you are sent to jail...

It is time for other countries like the USA, and Canada to follow this example, and then you will see less players taking the drugs, or it will be jail time...

I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.
