Okay. Well then, I guess you're wrong about cortisone.

What are you talking about? I said it erodes your cartilage which your article affirms and Ive cited a source that lists two instances where it has been abused. Do you think abuse is not occurring but exchanges hands under the table due to liability?

No, I don't think in baseball players are abusing cortisone injections. And I haven't seen any source that says regular cortisone use will erode your cartilege. It's irrelevent anyways. Even if there are some players that abuse it doesn't mean it is on the same level as steroids. If you abuse aspirin the lining in your stomach deteriorates. Should we not allow players to take tylenol if we're not allowing them to take steroids? Pretty much any drug will have a harmful repercussion if it is abused. Responsible use of cortisone is not the same as using a steroid and people can easily be for one and not the other. Which most of your argument has been you can't approve of cortisone shots and disprove of steroids.
