More fun with drugs
Bill Simmons puts the NBA's case for getting in steroid trouble forward...
"I'm just throwing it out there: Out of all the major sports, wouldn't HGH and steroids help basketball players the most? They improve strength and conditioning, help your body recover from injuries (an invaluable edge during an 82-game season), improve your eyesight, give you more of an angry edge ... I mean, what's the downside for a mediocre center or power forward here? You know, other than a bulky forehead, an extra chin, shrunken testicles and possible organ damage? For instance, let's say you're Kurt Thomas right now. You're in a contract year, you're going to be banging bodies in the West all season ... wouldn't an HGH cycle from February to June get you twice as much money in July?"
It's interesting. I have a bias against NBA players as being the least likely of the major sports' athletes to care what goes into their bodies. That's probably ridiculous. I think Simmons is onto something.
P.S. Thanks to Chris for holding down the sauna while I entertained a few gentlemen here in London.
