[Editor's Note: Would NASCAR do this kind of an article? Would the NFL do this kind of an article? … We don't care who you are or what the situation is, this is just plain tasteless. It's not funny, and it's not clever. Steroids or not, Rahal's accomplishments before or after Alex Rodriguez's steroid period pale in comparison. Rodriquez is a superstar, and will remain one. Rahal has yet to stake his claim to superstardom.]
