Doping, should it be mandatory?

I believe that Human Growth Hormone (HGH), should be used by athletes in all sports. HGH can help them recover from injuries and even prevent them. If we really care about the humans competing they should be allowed to use some substances to keep from absolutely destroying their bodies, and having a better quality of life after they retire.

I might be completely off base here, but its just my opinion.

I absolutely agree! Derek Jeter's use of HGH is what helped him grow a skull thick enough to prevent his brain from being damaged by the baseball that hit him in the noggin recently.
I believe all athletes deserve similar opportunities to protect themselves.

mandatory? No- they're not slaves.

A condition of employment? Perhaps so.

Absolutely, and all women should be required to drink lots of milk loaded with BGH.
