I disagree. You see random commercials for it…but it will be YEARS before enough people in society stop demonizing “steroids” and relating them to fights and murder and cheating alone.
Lance survived and became a superhero. Gee, complaining about cheating seems to be missing the forest for the trees.
The average person still sees “one testosterone injection” as more dangerous than getting drunk.[/quote]
we’ll never know how good lance really was, beings how he’s been cheating his whole sporting career. tri’s and cycling…greg lemond said his tallent in biking was good… not great. them drugs sure helped him… fricking cheat.
New to the boards, but will share my opinion on Armstrong and the view of banned substances. The governing bodies in sports state they will not tolerate banned substances claiming such substances create inequality in the playing field? This being the case then in all logic their should exist, a form of legal doping in order to also foster equality in the playing field.
We all know that individuals are unique in their hormone levels and their Bio Systems. So if we have five athletes in competition, all trained equally hard and none doped. Lets say three of these athletes have a natural T level of 800, the fourth a level of 400, and the fifth a level of 300. Athlete number 4 and 5 have no control over this issues , is what it is naturally.
From a logical perspective to create total equality in the matter , athletes 4 and 5 should be cleared for legal doping to attain the same T levels of those they are competing against. Would the governing bodies agree, I doubt it. If not though then where is the true equality , which is measured on a physical as well as a Bio level.
Pretty sure Captain Americas super soldier serum was stronger than whatever Lance was on.[/quote]
Irrelevant, that serum wasn’t against the rules of his profession.

In that case the more apt phrase would be that superheroes CAN’T cheat, because there are no rules to ‘stopping villains’ that aren’t imposed by the superhero itself(see: Batman not killing).

He was military.
Captain America is a “cheat” also.
He is also a super hero.
Super hero are therefore “cheaters”.
LOL.
The Hulk isn’t “natural”.[/quote]
I see an NJP in Caps future. Maybe that’ll be the story line in the second one.

I honestly thought media would have been all over the Cap America’s steroid usage.
I am laughing at “super heroes aren’t cheats”…when very few aside from MUTANTS are “natural”.
