When you take that into account Perfect Drift didn't do so badly afterall.
I don't quite get the gripe here. Are you saying you'd rather see good horses juiced to the gills so that they can really launch into the stratosphere?

I think Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Mark McGwire might need you to do some PR work for them...

Who's griping? I wasn't aware I was...this is friendly discussion for those who are interested in joining in.

Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Mark McGwire that's a different can of worms of a discussion, I seriously doubt they are the only ones on the stuff infact we know they weren't.

However, using that baseball analogy I guess my position would be to have a Clemons pitch to a Bonds and see who would have won rather than Clemons pitching against well I can't think of a clean Baseball player at the moment...probably that says it all.

I read somewhere that he needed Perfect Drift to break even, and so once he lost Perfect Drift he couldn't do it anymore.
