If viagra, cialis, etc. have that potential 4-hour, you-know-what side effect, can you imagine what a big ol' dose of HGH might do to a fella?

:eek:

Again. If you step back and actually think for a second, it should be obvious to you. Distribution of a banned substance. Do you really think a 5 game suspension is what we are talking about there? A coach caught passing out HGH is not going to be working in the league any more.
Why is the distribution more severe than the actual use of the substance??

It's like the gun salesman being held more culpable for the murder than the killer.

Or the drug dealer being held more accountable than the junior high kids he's selling drugs to.

Why are the substances banned? Because the league doesn't want players gaining a competitive advantage? What competitive advantage was Wade Wilson going to gain re: the NFL...?? (I know, if he was using it to treat impotence, then he was gaining an advantage in the bedroom :cool:). But come on. When the rules are so strict that you can't take mitigating circumstances into account, then there's something wrong with the rules.
Correct. Just because something is a rule, doesnt mean its a good rule. I mean, slavery was legal too.....

I understand what Goodell thinks he is trying to do. I think he should have taken more into account and come up with a more appropriate punishment.

Take out the "junior high kids" and the analogy fits.

Yeah, why does his pee-pee keep popping up? Perhaps the HGH?

All he had to do was borrow my video collection. Works like a charm.

A friend of mine has the same condition, and he does not take any kind of medicine for it...he uses a popsicle stick and duct tape. He says it works just fine (aside from some splinters here and there)....

Carry on...

Are you serious?

Do you do drug law? Let's say I'm growing marijuana - my stash can be defined as "personal use" vs. "intent to distribute" - what's more serious? You know the answer don't you?

In my opinion the use of the illegal drug is more serious than the distribution of the illegal drug when you're dealing with adults.

In a sense you are right, however...like you say, if I buy a pound of crack and I use it for myself, yeah, I'm killing myself, right? However, if I sell it to other adults then I am killing them also...

You're not killing them... assuming they are adults, they are killing themselves. Personal responsibility rules the day.

The gun salesman analogy still fits.

Now... bear in mind that the laws don't necessarily bring about this result. The government, in their "war on drugs," is trying to stop the rampant drug use by cutting off the distributors. Do I think that's right? It's debatable. The reason I don't have a huge problem with this, is because typically the people distributing are also users.

But as far as whether I think the distributor who doesn't use is more culpable than the user? No. I'm big on personal responsibility.
