I understand that competition is healthy, and I understand that bragging rights are up for grabs.  But something is a little, well, fishy lately.

The once gentle and calm Amit Pandya has suddenly become aggressive and violent at the foosball table.  Shots are now being taken that a week ago he wouldn’t, or couldn't have tried.  His velocity is off the charts!  Perhaps he’s on the “juice”?  Maybe he’s sharing with the other player who will remain nameless (Chris Gomez) that has ADMITTED to using steroids!

That’s right, steroids.  Baseball, Track & Field, Football, and now – Foosball have all been tarnished by the use of performance enhancing drugs.

It’s a shame, really.  To resort to drug use in order to gain a competitive advantage.  Tsk!  Tsk!

To be fair, the Gomez did claim that he had to receive a steroid shot for a medical condition – in his shoulder.  The same shoulder that is used to provide power to his patented “Gomez” 5 man shot.  Hmm…

Perhaps random drug testing should be implemented to prevent this type of abuse.
 
At any rate, now that the secret is out, let’s watch and see if the sudden increases in performance mysteriously disappear.
