There is so much ignorance about hormones, hormone replacement and steroids. You can expect that Politicians will use the baseball 'revelations' to score points with their uneducated and scared constituents, who know nopthing about the subject.

Personally, I think pro athletes should be allowed to use modern to optimize their hormone levels, just as they use science to find better ways to work out, eat, etc.. If they set a blood level above which athletes cannot go, then you would truly have a level playing field. But to expect anything other than a vote getting knee jerk reaction from a senator like Chuck 'Never Met a Camera I didn't Love' Schumer, is expecting way too much from our freedom repressing Big Government!
