Journalist and former Contributing Editor for biotechnology at Wired magazine
Position:
Not Clearly Pro or Con
to the question "Should performance enhancing drugs (such as steroids) be accepted in sports?"
Reasoning:
"That the current testing regimen does not work to prevent doping is painfully obvious...
We are faced, then, with a proposal to criminalize sports doping. There would be raids by the feds, trials, and law enforcement resources burned in the pursuit of multi-millionaire druggies. I'm not so sure we have the stomach for this...
This is what American consumers have to ask themselves: If we really want doping to stop, we have to be prepared to see our heroes do hard time. Do we care that much?"
