10. NO
No I am not making his point. I said something totally different than he did. What he says is just bull shit. Nobody is forcing anything on him. No one is forcing him to make choices he does not want to make. Everyday people give him freedom of choice. My point was that if he did not like the attention he could just stay away from the media. Also if he did not want to compete he could stay out of the Olympics. I never said anything about him having to win a gold medal. In addition, if you read my original post i stated that even if Miller had won gold medals and still had the same attitude he has now I would be criticizing him. It is not about him winning gold medals it his about him blaming fans and the media for the way he and other athletes act and for him complaining about not being able to be drunk the whole time he is at the Olympics. If he wants to be drunk the whole time he could just stay home or he could tell the Olympic team to pick someone else to compete so he can be drunk the whole time. So it is not about Miller wanting to be drunk all the time or his not winning a gold medal or him not wanting to win a gold medal it is his bad attitude when it come to competing in the Olympics. If Miller had not come to the Olympics complaining about everything and had not won a gold medal I would have supported him. I do not like his attitude toward the fans, media, and the Olympics.

Fans do not cause athletes to use steroids. The athletes choose to use steroids to get bigger contracts. So it is the desire of some athletes to make more money that drives them to do steroids not the pressure put on them by fans.
