John McCain has to get his nose into everything, and in doing so he's costing all of us our money and our freedoms. Now he is moving towards having the U.S. Anti Doping Agency (USADA) test professional athletes from the major sports for steroids. Guess who will pay for it if he continues on this arc? Not the players. Not the owners. Not even the fans. Every tax payer will subsidize this with their taxes.
I'm the first guy on the 'steroids are bad' band wagon. I'm even steamed at how steroids have probably sullied baseball's record books. Government should not be doing the testing, though. There are plenty of ways Congress can apply pressure on the leagues to enforce this on their own. I DON'T WANT TO SUBSIDIZE TESTING ANY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE'S URINE. It's bad enough that a few times a year I drop big ching to go see these people play games that high schoolers often play with more heart for free. In these tight fiscal times, I sure as hell don't want any percentage of my taxes to go towards testing them. McCain needs to butt his nose out of professional athletes privates. Apply pressure, yes. Get government involved, hell no. The only place government has in this issue is the enforcement of law, not in testing.
