@Adogslife Re the PEDs, I always found it funny when people got so upset about the steroids in baseball an d yet conveniently forgot how their idols of the 1950s, 1960s, etc. were stoked on amphetamines; tales of candy bowls filled with pills sitting on locker room tables, Mickey Mantle supposedly missing the end of the3 '61 season thanks to the abscess of a "Super B" amphetamine injection, etc.
@rinkydinkydoink Rulon’s win was huge. At a somewhat similar level, Wyatt Hendrickson of Oklahoma State upset Gable Steveson of Minnesota with a 5-4 victory this year at the NCAAs. Stevenson was as dominant as they come in college. He was undefeated and the Gold medalist in 2020 Olympics for the US.
@ChipmunkErnie I agree. That was my point. One minute steroids are visible in someone’s locker and the next everyone is a pariah with lawyers testifying in front of Congress.
You’ve also got the obvious dichotomy between baseball and football. Get caught in baseball, the penalty is huge. In football, the penalty seems to only exist in theory.
@Adogslife If by "in their locker" you mean Mark Mcguire, what was in his locker wasn't steroids but "Andro" -- or something like that -- which was a body-building powder sold over-the-counter by GNC. But that did start the whole investigation /outrage over steroids. And then Jose Canseco admitted using steroids and claimed that 50% of players used it in one form or another -- which really set the baseball purists off, calling him a liar, etc.
