2) Good to see you've come back to your senses.
3) Some of us pissed on the record book back when Mcgwire & Sosa broke 61. [/B]

1)Yup, they were both shot full of
legal drugs, not
illegal drugs. And no, the result isn't the same imo. Someone taking a painkilling shot to enable them to play in a game is
not the same as is if that same player took anabolic steroids to put on 40 pounds of muscle.

I don't buy it.
Painkillers enhance performance. Period. And when compared to steroids their effects are much, much quicker. (Thankfully for some of us
)
The only difference is that *usually* the painkillers are prescribed by a MD.
What would you say if it was revealed that Gibson had someone illegally inject cortisone & whatever-caine into his knees before his famous at bat, instead of an MD doing it legally?
