By Wade Keller, Torch editor

In an exclusive interview with PWTorch.com Stephen Colbert, or simply quotes taken from his new book "I Am America (And So Can You)," the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," spoke out with a controversial, blunt stance about steroids and performance enhancing drugs in pro wrestling and sports in general.

Colbert makes it clear that he is not a fan of sports - period. "Generally speaking, I'm not a big fan of sports. It's a wate of both testosterone and blind, fervent allegiance, both of which would be better directed toward our military," he tells PWTorch.com in an exclusive interview or he writes in his book (you choose).

"The big story in sports right now is athletes taking drugs, making themselves better with steroids and human growth hormone. Some people have a problem with this, [Wade], but not me," says Colbert, adding: "Athletes perform for our enjoyment. So, 'performance enhancing drugs' are really 'enjoyment-enhancing drugs.'"

Colbert points out that such drugs have improved performance, appearance, and therefore our enjoyment.

"Back in the day when sports consisted off little slow guys hitting set shots, bunting, and staging Statue of Liberty plays, the public was satisfied because they didn't know any better. But now that we've seen huge behemoths with two percent bodyfat and misshapen foreheads leap over piles of bodie to crush each other's larynx, [such as at TNA pay-per-views], we can't go back. That's why I'm proposing the end of all regulations on what athletes do to themselves. If a guy wants to shoot himself up on hormons or chimp sperm, that's his business. The only thing that matters is his performance...

"Now a lot of people ask, 'What kind of message would this send to young people?' T which I reply, 'Don't suck. Go the extra mile to actually be good or you'll be selling insurance." With those forces at work in the marketplace of modern scientific body modification, our sports will continue to be the most entertaining in the world."

We'd like to thank Colbert for his time, or for letter us buy his book and copy a couple quotes (you choose).
