It’s great to have the number one seed in the NCAA tournament, which starts Friday. What better time for Leon Kass of AEI to remind us why many of us are queasy about steroids and other enhancements. Kass even quotes the best line from Chariots of Fire: “I believe that God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast, and when I run I feel His pleasure. . . . To give up running would be to hold Him in contempt.” I wonder if he’s shared his ideas with Shaftesbury speaker and Belmont Abbey College President Dr. William Thierfelder.
Sport is about getting the best from ourselves, like Eric Moussambani at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
