If Jason Giambi Is To Be Booted For Steroid Use...

[Harlan James]

...what about Arnold Schwarzenegger?

It would seem to me that the standards applied to our role model athletes in order to protect the safety and health of impressionable youngsters should also be applied to those in the realm of politics. And certainly few alive today have benefited more by the use of anabolic steroids than California's cigar chomping outsource governor.

Look at it this way, if it wasn't for steroids would Arnold have won the body building acclaim that brought him to the world's attention? Or had his movie career in Hollywood? Chances are that without the use of this now dreaded substance he never would have even gotten his otherwise mediocre ass out of Austria.

It's time to apply these steroid standards to all those serving in public life. Politicians are also role models for America's youth, and need to be included.
