Steroids give an unfair advantage

To the editor:

Last week Jose Canseco published a book about steroid use. Even though it is still cheating, it tells me that athletes can use drugs to help their performance. It is an unfair advantage over athletes who didn't use steroids. It is the responsibility of the coaches, trainers and players to uphold the rules. I hope our local high school coaches are not giving in to steroids for their players just to have another "w" in the win column.
