That is a very thoughtful comment. I am a MD parent. I know that this cure epidemic of parents pulling this nonsense around here is also the case in other regions. And all the apologists saying well hockey players and baseball players do it too just rationalizes taking short cuts to success. People who don't do that resent it at every level. I remember a baseball pitcher throwing Sosa and McGuire under the bus for roids...it is not just the glory those guys got for cheating...it was the money and years taken away from the pitchers with lower stats throwing to roided out players, and the hitters who had lower stats because they didn't roid out. It comes around eventually. A lot of the 16 year old 2017 commits are going to see when they get to college that being 18 months older or younger doesn't mean anything anymore in college. The best players don't need a crutch now. And those are the players who will play in college
