Ask SFist: Why Not Drink the Juice?

Last night at a downtown bar, we eavesdropped on a heated debate about the Bonds' indictment. The all-male group of self-proclaimed Bonds-haters argued loudly about whether or not sports should simply start allowing athletes to get as chemically enhanced as they wanna be, health risks be damned.

The main pro-roids (pro-drug?) point was this: seeing as how athletes already push themselves to physical extremes, shouldn't synthetic enhancers also count? Since it also deals with the body? See who's a lightweight, see who's not? That, ultimately, juiced up athletes is the future of sports, so...why not give in?

Any sports fans care to chime in and educate us non-sport followers?
