Taking a Stand

I applaud the USA Track & Field's Athletes Advisory Committee (AAC) for its recent stand on steroid use. Steroids and other drugs are major problems in our sports world and someone needs to be the first to take a stand.

I realize that track and field is not a ‘big money’ sport like professional sports in the U.S. but maybe some of these will take to heed the stand they have taken and reevaluate their policies. I am realistic enough to know that they will not, since there is so much money involved in professional sports, but I can dream can’t I.

To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.
