If you think you need drugs to improve your performance on the field, you must not be as good as everyone thinks you are. 

A real athlete doesn't need steroids. 

much like the capitalists, a great athlete is never content with a certain level of performance, no matter how high that level is.  they're indoctrinated to be ultra-competitive from very very young ages and drugs are used as a tool to reach the even greater heights: Bonds 2001-2004 as a perfect example.

Agree with everything Tweed has said essentially but it should be noted that most of these athletes are capitalists as well.

no, they're highly-paid workers.
