Michael Phelps and A-Rod

I think that the newspaper journalists do go a little too far when it comes to professional athletes. I think what A-Rod did was totally against the rules and not fair. Its not fair because steroids make you stronger and that definitely benefits your ability to play baseball. Not everyone in the MLB can or does take steroids. But What Michael phelps did didn't benefit him in his sport at all. If anything marijuana  would decrease your ability to swim faster. Drugs are Drugs but marijuana is one of the less serious one because you cannot overdose on it. Michael Phelps got caught doing something illegal but was more personal then A-Rods. A-Rods wasn't illegal but his pertained to breaking the rules of his sport.
