Lance Armstrong sues to block doping charges

Senh: I'm surprised that these baseball players take steroids. Most of them look out of shape. Same of cyclist, most of whom look kinda skinny. If anything, I would think football players would abuse steroids and would be the first sport to get caught for it.
