They SHOULD. Steroids ain't weed, they kill people who misuse them (which happens often, since many users are high school athletes).

I'm not painting him as an axe murderer. But he's most definitely a scumbag. You mean to tell me you don't get any shred of satisfaction from seeing bad things happen to a douche like him?

Sure. Why not? I'm supposed to feel sorry for the rich who feel they're above the natural process of aging? Fuck 'em.

Look, regardless of what you feel the moral impact his actions might have (which we're just going to disagree on), what he did was still illegal. And he's a douche. Tell your story walking if you truly believe what's happening to him now is some kind of injustice.
