An adult has the right to take a medication and he/she knows full well the things this could do to their body. If you look at the contraindications and cautions on any FDA approved drug,it would scare you beyond words. This is Roger Clemmens body and he has the right to do with his body whatever he choses. Senate should really be trying to solve the important issues i.e. how to get out of Iraq, how to get medical care for our people and how in the world are we ever going to pay China back. They can not have my first grandchild.<BR/><BR/>This is the most absurd hearing the Senate has held in years. We need to get these old fogies out of office and impose term limits on every elected official in government. Including the Supreme Court should have term limits. There are no life time jobs such as they are given.<BR/><BR/>To the Senate, get off Roger Clemmens case and do something to make us proud of you. He has not hurt anyone but himself if he did take HGH. There was a high school coach who gave his football players this hormone and they won State that year. He finally got caught and was fired, let's fire the Senate and rehire!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-75498569759872335822008-02-14T15:51:00.000-06:002008-02-14T15:51:00.000-06:00I agree with 2/13/2008 09:52:00 PM I can't even se...I agree with 2/13/2008 09:52:00 PM I can't even send an applaude loud enough to say AMEN!

Why are we spending our resources questioning people about performance enhancing drugs when in the overall picture it doesn't change anything. What is Viagra? A performance enhancing drug..???!!! Who cares?!!When was the last time anyone on Capitol Hill talked to someone that was afraid to go home at night or didn't know how they would feed their kids.
