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.

Pain killers aren't enhancers, because they don't make you better than what you were without the pain. In fact, I have been in this situation, and even with the shot, you're still not 100%, you're more like 90-95% instead of being 75%.
But like I said, it doesn't "enhance" your talents or skills.

Here is the definition from the dictionary:
en·hance /ɛnˈhæns, -ˈhɑns/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[en-hans, -hahns] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–verb (used with object), -hanced, -hanc·ing. 1. to raise to a higher degree; intensify; magnify: The candelight enhanced her beauty.
