Steve: I think another big reason for the diminishing lack of interest in response to trainers cheating is the large amount of trainers doing it and getting caught with positives. Its getting to be like baseball where the trainers not using illegal substances are probably in the minority. Its almost become the norm for trainers to use, just to be able to "keep up" with the guys who are notorious for illegal positives and gaudy winning percentages.

Exactly the same thing in baseball. At some point you have to wonder as a professional baseball player, do I stay clean and get penalized for it and lose out on millions of dollars from big performance induced contracts? Or do I do everything I can to "keep up"?
