hypocritical sportswriters
ReadWhen do we get to find out the results of sportswriters peeing in cups? The holier than thou attitude that Lopresti and Verducci take sickens me. Steroids were not a problem, nor were they illegal in the Canseco era - this vilification of drugs is nonsense - just the powers that be coming down on unpopular lifestyles. If athletes wish to trade a few years of their life for greater glory today - who are the sportswriters and newspapers to pass moral judgement. Show me your pee tests boys, before you decry the death of baseball. Doesn't congress have better things to focus on?

There are rules and there are enforced rules. When they change the manner in which they enforce the rules - well, remember George Brett's reaction in the pine tar incident. It's only when they break a corked bat or get caught red-handed with sandpaper that baseball actually punishes anyone for breaking the rules.
Except for Pete Rose.
Alcohol and caffeine are the performance enhancing drugs of writers. Perhaps they should be banned.
If the sheep were capable of thinking for themselves, would they? I could see peeing into a cup at the nickel mine, where the guys working the smelter were 'playing with fire', but why did i have to pee to work in a zoo? Besides - they never release the results of the test to we the pee-ers. how do i know they interpreted them correctly? did they use GC-MS - what are the controls. Science for public control - brought to you by the amerikkan grubbermint.
