Steroid use in Professional Wrestling

I don't think it's OK at all - no matter what sport you are in.

I believe that there should be regulations put on these guys, and more tests and rules [that are actually enforced]. However, this crap has been going on for so long (just talking wrestling here - though other sports apply) that it is basically ignored.

As far as if it matters, I guess it depends on how you're asking. If it's asking if it matters to the general public, I'd say probably not. If you're asking if this matters to the government - I'd say probably not once again, unless this is a case that gets turned into a media spectacle, forcing them to act on it. It is obviously something that is encouraged by the promoters (not all of them in general, but it's safe to say that McMahon and company do) - so it's fine by him as well.

I think it is ridiculous, unnecessary, unhealthy, and is just total bullshit.
