Cyclists are drawn to EPO and other substances almost as a matter of survival. The Tour has responded with serious testing and disqualifications mid-race. Should we condone the use of the "juice?"

NARBONNE, France — With the competition reduced to an afterthought, the Tour de France was rocked by another drug bust Thursday that left cyclin...

Floyd Landis would be the first cyclist to forfeit a Tour title because of doping. It would also be the first time in the 105-year history of the race that a winner has been stripped of the title.

If you can imagine, HGH usage has become so rampant in some circles that even the term performance enhancement is considered a misnomer and is replaced by the quaint and kitschy "performance enablement."

Which sports town trains the most scrutiny on its teams, from all kinds of media? You got it. I love New York.

We filled the stands in the "steroid era" because those performances were so wonderfully enhanced. Watching players who were well past their prime playing like kids was just too delicious to resist.
Daniel Silk | Posted 12.24.2007 | Entertainment
Maybe I'm blinded by my desperate love of baseball, but I actually don't feel duped by the steroid scandal. Compared to Pete Rose or the 1919 Black Sox? At least these f***kers were trying to win.

While it is easy to point fingers at baseball players, let's slow down for a moment and take a look in the mirror. We may be surprised to see how much "performance enhancing" goes on all around us.

The Clemens and Barry Bonds treatment proved that the by now all-too-familiar double standard quickly kicked in with a vengeance.

We pretend we're surprised, were shocked, and demand asterisks next to each of the offenders records--the hell with that. Let's put one big bracket around the entire generation, 1985-2007, and asterisk that.

The sole issue that upsets us so much about the Mitchell Report is the sanctity of numbers, the alleged pristine-ness of records in baseball.
Danny Schechter | Posted 12.17.2007 | Entertainment
How naïve to think that a leading mainstream newspaper would indict men in power. No, this story was not about Busheviks or bankers. It reported on steroids by some baseball players.
Roger I. Abrams | Posted 12.17.2007 | Entertainment
None of this means that steroids were good for the game, but rather that perhaps they had little or no impact on the game. Those who have a fetish for the asterisk should put their guns away.

When one of these scandals breaks, the conclusion is "a few guys cheated, but we got 'em" -- as opposed to the idea that cheating has always gone on, and occasionally people get caught.
