It is getting bad in sports what some will do to their bodies to try to gain a little advantage. 
If leagues would start really doing something, like putting a 3 year ban for 1st offenders, and life suspentions for all other infractions, we might actually see some progress, instead of the slaps on the hand, and Naughty boy comments they give them, when they are caught !------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------President Bush appealed to athletes and pro sports leagues to wipe out the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs Tuesday night in his State of the Union speech.
The message was welcomed by an anti-doping authority and an official whose sport has been at the center of a recent drug scandal.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was on hand to watch the address, during which Bush called on major sports leagues to implement stringent drug policies and reminded athletes that they are role models for America's youth.
His remarks come as athletes in two sports are testing positive for the new steroid THG, which was unmasked last summer by drug officials.
Five track and field athletes have tested positive for THG, and four members of the Oakland Raiders flunked tests for the steroid.
