For a $5-10M per year swing, I'm not going to lie, I'd do it too. Especially if I knew other guys were doing it. That's probably the thing I'm having the hardest time reconciling. I am totally anti-performance enhancement, but I know damn well, if it meant making another, say, $30M over the life of a contract, I would have a really hard time "Just Saying No".
I would say no. Just like I wouldn't box no matter how much you pay me. My health is more important than money.
All professional athletes that play contact sports at a very competitive level sacrifice their health for money to some degree. Just the way it is.
Rep. Tom Davis of the Government Reform Committee said today that no major league ballplayers will be called to testify before the committee. But he said "if any player feels they have been unfairly named" in the Mitchell Report, they are welcome to testify. YOUR MOVE ROGER. (Edit note: damn, those guys in Congress are smart, if Roger declines to testify, WELL, what do think?; if he testifies, he is under oath).
