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.

Back to reality after the Olympics
For two weeks we had non-stop, high energy, crowd pleasing sport on television. Much to the disagreement of some purists, tennis was one of those sports we followed during the Olympic games. While the event is opened to professionals, many of the top players declined to participate, but that did not stop #3 Venus Williams or #5 Monica Seles from winning medals for the US team. Now that the Olympics are over, the players will prepare for the indoor season and attempt to gain the last places in the season-ending Chase Championships. It is non-stop tennis action throughout all parts of the globe.
