You can be human all you want... but if you want to be an employee at some companies you have to follow the guidelines and requirements they have for their employees.
By the same arguments you are making, you then are saying that steroids should be fine for ballplayers because what they do on their time is their own business.

You are basicly free to choose, you have the power only to employee people who want to work for you. You give people compensation for their labour, enough money and perhaps a workforce would jump through every hoop you ask of them.
Not at all, steroids are banned from use, they understood that agreement and felt they could live with it or it did not impose on them. I would have no problem signing an employment contract with mandatory drug testing because I do not use drugs, the policy does not impose on me. If I was asked to sign a contract that included banning alchohal, smoking (a cigar smoker myself) and owning a sports cars, I would refuse. They may all be activities an employer belives could adversly effect my work but all of my hobbies, I can modderate as I choose. The reason for employment is so I can survive and provide a lifestyle for myself I enjoy. For myself, working at a company that restricted my freedom would defeat my main purpose for employment.
