Steroid Debate: Q & A, part 4 (11 of 14)

The motion: "We should accept performance-enhancing drugs in competitive sports"

Moderator: Bob Costas
Speaking for the motion: Radley Balko, Norman Fost and Julian Savulescu
Speaking against the motion: George Michael, Dale Murphy and Richard Pound

IQ2US marks the launch of Oxford-style debating -- one motion, one moderator, three advocates for the motion, three against -- in New York City. Each evening begins at 6:00P with a complimentary cocktail period. As you enter the theater before the debate starts at 6:45P, you cast your vote for or against the evening's motion. Those results are displayed midway through the debate as each side makes its statements. After all six panelists speak, the audience has a chance to ask the speakers questions and vote again. The debate finishes with brief summations from the panelists, the votes are tallied and a winning side is declared.

@s3norshake Dale was suppose to be in counter of Ben Johnson who couldn't make it to the debate.

with all due respect to dale murphy's accomplishments, he doesn't belong there, he is not a politician or educated in the medical field. And george michael needs to stop yelling. he just comes across as a rude uneducated buffoon that needs to yell to get his point across. richard pound is the only one there that is a respectable representative.

Norman Fost is a smart guy and also happens to be right. The demonizing of steroids is a conspiracy. Who is making a big profit of steroids being illegal? there is something shady
