Steroids can benefit athletes for a decade after use

Experiments with mice showed that a brief exposure to testosterone allowed the mice to rapidly regain muscle later in their lives. The scientist behind the study says that if a similar effect can be shown in humans, it should lead to a lifetime ban for dopers. The research has been published In the Journal of Physiology.

IF this research holds true for humans as well, scientists recommendation for life ban is totally logical.

I stopped caring about 'roids in sports when Barry Bonds was chasing the HR record several years back. Given the amount of supplements and drugs elite athletes put into their system to stay competitive, it's more prudent to ask who isn't doping.

I stopped caring for sports, when I realized they are not fun and games. I can understand being competitive, but not to the extent people make them to be. Stop all this competitive/professional BS, and I might start caring again.

The very nature of sport that makes it fun is competition. What threshold has been crossed that has taken it "too far"?
