I stand behind what I have always said...It is bullshit if a sports player has an illness and can't walk into any drug store and buy sudafed or asprin to help alleviate the symptoms because he risks a 50 game suspension because people think he is cheating because a banned substance shows up.

here is an idea folks...next time you have a headache or cold...do nothing and see how it feels and then go to the gym for two hours and do a normal workout and remember that this is the life of an athlete. because that is what i get from most people...these guys are paid millions so they SHOULD have to suck it up.

A sports player can't go to a drug store and buy sudafed or asprin because some of the chemicals they contain can give them an unfair advantage. What is MLB supposed to do when someone tests positive? If the guy shows up with half a box of sudafed everything is cool?

Cry me a river about the life of an athlete. If they don't like the lifestyle being a professional athlete requires there are other career paths that might suit them better.
