White Hat, Black Hat - The Semantics of Steroids by Will Carroll

Drugs are bad. Three words, not far off from “just say no” in the pantheon of drug education in America that, you will see, summarize steroid policy. As Congress has looked into the problem of performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports over the last three months, they have looked no deeper than those three words. They have asked the Commissioners of professional sports questions designed to look bad in thirty second sound bites. They have made statements that go further than David Stern’s “despicable comment” remark, casting steroids as the deep dark evil that for all its power must have been designed by Osama bin Laden himself.
