Horses and Other Heroes

As a western fan, I am often amazed at the diversity of the ‘western’ experience that each person claims to have inspired them to love either the western lifestyle or the genre. As a young 40-ish author, I have been inspired by my early upbringing in a farming community, and my exposure to B western greats. Others are entranced by the clothing, the music, the hardware, or the appeal that a sunset holds for them.

Imagine {The pairing of steroids and the high profile athlete}

Are many of baseball's best players such as Jason Giambi and Barry Bonds enhancing their abilities with steroids? Will proof that this is so permanently damage the game? Have steroids irreparably infected Track and Field as well? Can we believe the records owned by stars such as Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery were honestly earned? Are the recent feats by many of today's superstar athletes simply too good to be naturally true? As the evidence mounts and accusations fly, one wonders who will go down and who will ultimatley be vindicated. But one thing has already been made clear. Steroids are no longer the sole domain of bodybuilders seen in muscle magazines with necks the same width as their waists. Apparently Wheaties has been surpassed as the Breakfast of Champions.
