Lou Gorman Biography
- Title:
- Former General Manager for the Boston Red Sox
- Position:
- Con to the question "Should Performance Enhancing Drugs (Such as Steroids) Be Accepted in Sports?"
- Reasoning:
-
“There is absolutely no question whatsoever that baseball has to take dramatic action to address the use of steroids or any other performance enhancing drugs, since the use of steroids is, in essence, cheating. Players who have used steroids or other drugs to increase and enhance their performances are cheating and they have created an unfair and illegal playing field.”
