George Mitchell's steroid investigation names names, but it may not be enough to clean up the sport.
Comment: The players and the Players Association should embrace an Olympic regimen of year round random testing with minimum one year suspensions for first offenders, lifetime bans for second offenders. In exchange for agreeing to do this MLB should grant all players absolute amnesty for abuse prior to the Mitchell Report. MLB needs to move on and assure us that no one will ever disrespect the game by using performance enhancing drugs again.
Comment: If nobody talked but the trainers, where did 30 million dollars go? what was it spent on? Now there's an investigation.
Comment: I'm sorry but it seems to me that more people should be upset at the fact the US taxpayer paid 30 million dollars for something we already knew. 30 million for an investigation that owners, managers, and others knew about, because they were paying top dollar for it. 30 million dollars could have been better spent, in fact if you want to punish the leagues let them pay for the report. None of this is going to change how they operate, but 30 million dollars could have helped pass the s-chip bill.
Comment: I can't understand all this whining and crying about drug use in sports. My god, people, this has been going on for thousands of years. The Greeks and Romans used performance-enhancing drugs in their games. And why not? You don't get medals, trophies, money, or whatever for just trying! No, you have to win; and any advantage you can have over your opponents is a plus. Personally, I despise sports because athletes contribute nothing to society. All they do is bounce, kick, hit, catch, or throw a ball; they don't discover cures or make new inventions. If we leave all the sport dopeheads alone maybe they will all eventually overdose and die. Then we could hold them up as examples to our children as to how not to live their lives.
Comment: The adults-cheating-to-win aspect has to go. It's societally destructive.
Either permaban every player that has bulked up since young adulthood and/or has liver troubles and/or has mood swings and/or can't pass the best available independent testing on a weekly basis, or require ALL players to use juice continuously so that there's no more cheating aspect.
Of course, the mandatory-juice-use rule would have to start at 16, so that there wouldn't be a cheating aspect to high school and college sports, either.
