Dick Pound, anti-steroid crusader and former head of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), continued spreading his nonsensical steroid hysteria at a luncheon in Canada. Among other things, he said professional athletes who use steroids are sociopaths (“Anti-drug crusader pounds on doping: Dick Pound Recommends Stiffer Penalties,” April 11).
“Why should your child, or anybody’s child, become a chemical stockpile in order to be successful in sport simply because there’s some sociopath out there that pays no attention to his or her promise of doping-free sport,” said Pound.
With this statement, not only does Dick Pound equate steroid use with mental illness, he asserts that mental illness is widespread in elite sports.
