“ The nationwide war on steroids by two San Francisco BALCO prosecutors and one former IRS agent has always been about personal advancement. These federal officials realized that by targeting a few baseball players and track stars for taking steroids they could make names for themselves. The irony is that thousands of American police officers are major steroid users. Yes, there has been too much ado about steroids. I’ve been writing for years about the subject for Yahoo Sports and Playboy because readers are intrigued. But the deeper story is that steroids are prevalent throughout society. Prosecutors using athletes as scapegoats are simply playing the celebrity gristmill. „
