Corizone doesn't really heal you, it gives you a false illusion of healing. And things like Ben Gay are hardly dangerous to your health. This goes back to fairness and ethics. Is it right that a guy willing to risk his future health by taking steroids or HGH gets an edge over a guy who is opposed to it? Should a player be made to feel as though he has to risk his future health and go against his own principles to compete for a job against a guy willing to do those things? Some people would say tough, deal with it. I happen to think there is something wrong with that scenario.
