What's the Difference?
Not long ago, it was routine to whisper about which movie stars had undergone cosmetic surgery. First it was kept completely secret, then it was simply taboo. Now it's accepted.
What is the difference? Our society has grown to accept physical enhancements in our media stars. Why not its athletes? It's bigger, better, more exciting. And if somebody flames out, there is a long line instant replacements. Steroids is now a non-story.
(I'm not saying this is good. I'm just the bearer of bad news.)
