Okay, so today I visited my doc after a nagging and persistent shoulder injury that is severely inhibiting my capacity to exercise.
He briefly mentioned something along the lines of:
"anabolic steroids, not corticosteroids, could probably heal this quick-smart but you don't want to go down that road."
This got me thinking.
Would people be averse to a highly regulated course given to a player who had a significant injury that would be greatly assisted by the taking of what would otherwise be classified as performance enhancing drugs?
By strictly regulated I mean:
Has the potential to get nasty though.
Thoughts?

By strictly regulated I mean:
- Player has to be out of the game for X amount of time after the course
- Clubs all put in an amount for an independent AFL doctor
- This AFL doctor monitors the injury's progress, the dosages, and whether or not the injury is genuine and worthy of taking a course.
Has the potential to get nasty though.
Thoughts?
