Ben Cousins adverse reaction to sleeping pills has highlighted the use of caffine tablets and sleeping pills by AFL players as part of their match day routine.

Do you think professional athletes should be using stimulants and prescribed drugs so routinely on match day?

I'm sure club doctors will come out and say there are no lasting effects from doing this to your body on a regular basis but to me there is something morally wrong with it.

Sure Professional athletes need to find any legal advantage but at what cost? And isn't this an abuse of a prescription drug?

And is it responsible for someone with Ben Cousins history to be given prescriptions to powerful drugs like these.

Alot about this issue doesn't sit well with me

There's an appalling spelling error in the subject line and body of this "article" - it should read "caffeine."
