Opinions about the whole ordeal with him cheating with enhancement drugs?  Me being a dedicated weight lifter, I can say I frown upon using enhancements.  Why?  Because I believe your pride will be stronger and the success of obtaining your goals legitimately highly outweighs getting to where you want by cheating.  It's like finally winning the heart of a girl you like through lies and deceit.  You'll always know you didn't deserve what you got.  Sure it feels great to be the best, but it would be a greater accomplishment if done legitimately.

Oh, that was a thing that happened?

Yeah, I don't really pay attention to news.
And I could really care less about stories like this. No offence meant, if any was gleaned.

Pride and accomplishment are the big reasons behind not using steroids? I figured it would have been in the testicular region...

Eh, im not really surprised... except by the oprah thing, that raised an eyebrow.

[Felix-0]

c'mon now. Are we really bored to the point that this is all we have left to discuss? > w>

[fruckert]

I wasn't being entirely facetious, btw.
This is only the second time I've heard about this.

[drenrin2120]

To clarify, by "oprah thing", I meant, "wtf? She still does **** and people care?" It's like being sick and watching day-time television and finding Dr. Phil is still putting out new episodes, like really?

[GaryCXJk]

Dr. Phil is still putting out new episodes.

[drenrin2120]

Really? Who the hell watches that show?

[daoman89]

What's wrong with discussing about exercising and pride and bikes and oprah!? lol

The only lame part is that he denied it for so long even after he was suspended and they had evidence and took away the medals and everything. No honour in that man, if you do something wrong you admit it and take responsibility and deal with the consequences.

Drugs and such is like bots or cheat codes in games. Yeah sure you can kill the last boss in one hit, or skip the whole grinding part. But then what? Then what is even the point in playing the game if you just wanted to finish it?

Cheers to Purple Mage to making it VG related.  He did it for you Felix!  Some people believe you gotta take the drugs to stay competitive.  I don't really like first person shooters so much because most of them of just for multiplayer and it's the same crap over and over.  That's just me though.
