My guess is that PEDs exist in hockey. Believing otherwise is just being ignorant of today's world.

The question for me is - why do people care? I loved watching Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Lance Armstrong......still some of my favorite memories in my life.

Especially Lance Armstrong.....even though they stripped him of his titles....that guy was a beast and won the Tour 7 times in a row in an era where practically where Joe Blow was doping his ass off....but this world has turned into a "holier than thou" society....and the guys at the head of the anti-doping agencies basically made it a mission to take him down. They should have DQ'd practically all results from those 7 Tours then...why just 1st place.

Anyway - doping = entertainment. We should juice all our athletes.
