I'd like to welcome Major League Baseball to the club . . . now you have your own doping scandal. Too bad the rules are different. For one the media doesn't seem to immediately crucify those named in the Mitchell Report. In fact they are already talking about backlash in terms of libel suits that could be brought up against Mitchell and MLB.
It amused me watching some of the coverage on Sports Center and hearing former NFL players talking about how they have the best testing program in professional athletics. Also amusing . . . consider this one, Jose Canseco is to baseball as __________ is to cycling. Can anybody fill in the blank?
More important on this entire issue is that baseball is still boring even with juiced athletes! I think there were more "heroics" prior to the modern era of baseball. How many complete games get pitched these days? Does anybody really care?
