Cup O' Fiz 08/19/13

I have long held the stance that I don't care about performance enhancing drugs;  I just don't. I don't view it as "cheating" for many reasons, but more than anything, where do you draw the line?  Why is this illegal and that legal?  The amount of supplements the "clean" athletes take would probably bankrupt the average Joe. That said, I present a timeline of tweets from my favorite Astrophysicist after the recent MLB suspensions were handed down. Yeah, I'm that much of a dork that I have a favorite Astrophysicist.  Neil Degrasse Tyson is "that dude."

Straight from Wikipedia so you know who this guy is:

Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space and a research associate in the department of astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History.
