Leave it to Mark Cuban, ever the maverick, to fashion himself an advocate for the one thing in sports that everyone agrees to hate: steroids.
From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
At a University of Pittsburgh forum yesterday, the Pittsburgh native responded to a question about the 10-game suspension of Orlando’s Rashard Lewis during last season’s NBA playoffs.
“I’ll get killed for saying this,” Cuban replied, “but I’m not so against steroids if they’re administered under proper supervision and there is no long-term damage.” […]
“If somebody thinks it’s controversial, fine. To me, it’s just common sense. “I’m sure I’ll hear about it [today] that ‘Cuban is for Steroids.’”
And he’s right. Maybe on both accounts. Yeah, his controversial comments make for some obvious headlines, but while everyone’s so busy condemning steroids, it’s still unclear as to what longterm effects they have on human bodies.
If those effects were found to negligible, who is to say that steroids are such a bad thing? Not Mark Cuban, in case you’re wondering.
