My first thought also was "I hope it's optional". I'd just as soon not have it in my game.

I know you said OPTIONAL so I wouldn't have to use it but I don't like this idea. It's one thing to me if the players do it on their own and get caught but
you are the GM\Manager and you're pressuring your player to use steroids and supplying them also? If this is in and your player is caught should your GM character also be fired from the organization? Should you be suspended from the league too?

Too me it makes OOTP look bad, I mean how do you describe this is new feature list for v10+?

Young prospect not developing as you expected? Why not get him some 'roids? He may just turn into the next home-run king! Of course be careful you just may get caught and the consequences are severe!
Maybe I'll be in the minority with this point of view, who knows in todays world. It is my 2 cents though and I thought I'd throw it out there.
