Even if players are adults and they should be able to make their own decisions about their strength vs. their health or their lifespans, taking steroids is unfair in at least three ways...
First, it affects the game (and the standings).
Second, it affects non-users trying to get onto the team, or onto the first team.
Third, it affects the history and the individual and team records of the sport, which is unfair to past and future players, and to the fans.
Indeed, what would it do to discussions of "greatest team" or "greatest running back" or whatever?
I do hope that those players are artificially enhancing themselves take the Mitchell report as a shot across the bow and stop immediately.
