Steroids are cheating, no doubt. But I think using an illegal object to cause more damage goes even beyond thats. Its absolutely criminal.

I am one of the people who is of the opinion that the large majority of top athletes are using performance inhancers, but that aside I think we can draw a clear distinction between steroids (which can be used to heal up a nagging injury) and doctoring your gloves.

Ask Barry Bonds, Mark Mcguire, Jose Canseco, Lyle Alsado (spelled wrong) Arnold Shwarzenegger (spelled wrong)

If all they do is help nagging injuries. I agree with you you cant lump up all offenders and put them in one catagory. But, a cheater calling out a cheater? If I had cheated and then caught someone else cheating I would make sure the tables are equal come time for competition (which they were) then stay out of it and let the officials decide the others fate.
