But if it helps so minimally, it wouldn't be worth it in the first place considering the penalties. Do you think since the help is so minimal, you might as well just allow it?
What are you basing your opinion that the effects of it being overblown on?
If corked bats don't do anything, would you have no problem legalizing that?
I'm basing it off what I've read on the subject, which is a fair amount. Also watching Bigger, Faster, Stronger awhile back.
I'm not saying the effects are commonly minimal either. I just believe many people think they're a bigger deal than they typically are. They work more for some guys than others and of course how hard they work out and how gifted they already were plays a big role in that, see Barry Bonds.
I would strongly consider allowing HGH and possibly other drugs, but would have to look into more. I do think that the negative health effects for some of these PED's are overstated as well.
And no, I wouldn't have an issue with corked bats being used assuming the research I've read about is accurate.
