Following your logic, the motive for a crime defines whether it is a crime or not? That is what you are saying, and picking something arbitrary like motive, the thing that can never be proven definitively, you will always be able to argue your case and feel like you are right. It's like saying god (or fill in random imaginary figment) exists, prove that he doesn't. So maybe Rafael Palmeiro, who must have really messed up his nuts by cycling steroids improperly and then became a spokesman for Viagra (what a coincidence), maybe he only went back on roids afterward because he wanted to get his dick hard and the Viagra was messing with his heart. We could make up an excuse for everyone. I mean, Ben Johnson probably just shot the Winstrol because he wanted to impress the chicks at his gym by raising his bench press max, not so he could run faster and be more explosive. This is a fun game, reminds me of the Bill Clinton definition of "is" is game, you sure you're not a democrat? -g-
