Yeah Rich, I know my views are out of the ordinary and maybe more frank than a lot of purists like. But I also think it's the future of sports, whether we like it or not. The genie is out of the bottle.

Based on what I'm seeing in the news with European cycling and the Tour de France and the whole Marion Jones Olympics thing, it won't be long before the whole meaning of, and reason for fair play in sports goes down in flames, unless the drugs are just accepted as part of the diet and training program.

It's just the beginning. More and more sports figures will admit to juicing as time passes. It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out over the coming years.

And you can't fool me, many people watch hockey specifically for the fights, just like they watch NASCAR for the crashes.
