cortisone enables one to play in situations where maybe they wouldn't be able to without it. in a way it enhances performance. without it would be no performance

Yes but your doctor would give Joe Blow a cortisone shot so that he could go to work and do his 9-5 desk job. Is that a performance enhancer? If so, then you must not think this kind of performance enhancing drug is a bad thing.

Why can't a player have it?

I disagree...that's a pain killer. So should Ibruprophen be illegal too? Tylenol?

Exactly. Pain killers don't enhance performance. They allow normal performance to take place.

You can tell why this is being discussed by this dipshit at 2:00 am in the morning. It's a retarded argument. Is he actually saying we should ban cortisone and other pain killers because they "enhance" performance? Or is he saying that because we're allowing cortisone, we should allow steroids and other performance enhancers?

Whatever his point is, he's friggin retarded.
