Tom M,

Now that I have had moment to sit back allow me to do a couple things here. First allow me to clarify my position. It's not that I have Jankowski convicted for rape. I'm also not that bothered by the use of drugs by athletes. In fact I think in some ways we go too far with drug testing. What bothers me is the type of drug he was walking around with. Now clearly just possession of this substance does not make him guilty of rape. But in MANY cases that is what this substance is and has been used for. We also have a case here where this is the second time this guy has had problems with the same drug. Furthermore I don't even think Jankowski is a citizen of the United States. Now...to assume he is a rapist is not fair nor can it be prosecuted because no such event took place. But the connotations of this drug are far more serious than many other drugs. Having said that allow me to address another issue. The reason I popped off at you the other day was because I didn't think you took the history of this substance seriously. It is my personal belief that because of the way this drug has been used ( cloaked in drinks etc.) that the potential for wrong doing on an terribly evil level is very high. So I tend to be kind of a Nazi when it comes to this particular BHG. That said I want to apologize for the personal shots I took. I still believe my message is correct but the way that I delivered it was wrong. I also think that this type of board should be above that level of discourse as it is meant for fun. So I apologize to you for my behavior and I want you and everyone else on this board to know that I'm man enough to admit my mistakes. Anyhow......Sorry.
