AussieBoyFan:Im not sure of your point mate?.. not quite sure how this can be linked to what Vick did?
Tell me something.. did you never have a sip of alcohol before your 21st birthday? and be honest now ;).. lol
The point I am trying to make is that professional athletes have lost
their careers because of the decisions they make; Quincy Carter is one
example, and so are Michael Vick and Marion Jones. Chris Henry may be
next. I am certain you know about what happened to Pete Rose and, in a
MUCH earlier incident, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Barry Bonds and Roger
Clemens may be joining Vick and Jones behind bars due to perjury.
And that's not the saddest part of all this; some of them have
even lost their lives because of the decisions they made. One example
of this is Lyle Alzado, who claimed all the way up to his final days
that his steroid use contributed to the brain tumor that ultimately
took his life. John Matuszak's untimely death is suspected to have been
caused by a drug addiction catching up with him (which primarily
included painkillers and narcotics, but was suspected to have been a
steroid user, like Alzado).
Would you want YOUR kids looking up to people like this? Personally, I wouldn't.
As for whether or not I've had a sip of alcohol before my 21st birthday? As Drew Rosenhaus would say, NEXT QUESTION!
