Friend of RandBall — T-Wolves blogger Sonia – e-mails to let us know about some interesting words coming from Mark Madsen. Seems the fabulous dancer also has some opinions about standard steroid testing and related topics over at his Mad Dog Blog. He takes dead aim at Congress — and high school football, for good measure — far more effectively than he does the rim on free throws:

I am astounded that with all of the problems facing America today, we are continuing to discuss this issue. Shouldn’t the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection have other more pressing issues to attend to? People make mistakes. I think every human being can relate to this as no one is perfect. But, if lawmakers think any professional athlete would be so stupid so as to begin a HGH or steroid program right now, they are grossly misguided. Professional athletes do watch CNN, CSpan, FoxNews, etc. We do see the serious legal situations that many professional athletes of various sports are dealing with due to alleged drug use. Why would any pro-athlete take that risk today? Even in the NBA where steroids is pretty much a non-issue, I can guarantee that pretty much every player would run out of a room if HGH ever came up as an offer. The NBA has implemted a beefed up drug testing program as a league for the future as of two years ago.

Why isn’t Congress looking at high school football. Let’s keep it real here people. If we all want to know where a big problem in America is with regards to athletics and steroid use it’s probably high school football. it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

It loses a little focus from there. But yeah, Mad Dog has some opinions.
