	Mark McGwire's Little Helper: The Androstenedione Debate by John Hoberman

		The idea that elite athletes like Mark McGwire (or anyone) should have the unfettered right to ingest any drug of choice is very appealing from a libertarian point of view.

		So, it is possible that McGwire's performance benefitted from taking "andro." And unfortunately, this possibility casts a shadow over his accomplishment of a tremendously difficult feat.
