Does Doping by Pro Athletes Affect Youth Sports?

Tell us what you think about the issue on Lindenhurst Patch.

Between the Baseball Hall of Fame vote being marred by steroid use by potential candidates like Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds and the Lance Armstrong sit-down with Oprah where he admitted to cheating during his cycling career, the use of performance enhancing drugs in professional sports has been in the news all month long.

We're wondering if the news from the professional sporting world makes its way down to the youth and high school sports levels.

Lindenhurst Patch wants to know what you think about this issue.
