Just because it's against the law... doesn't make it against the rules.

It isn't against the law in Venezuela, or the Dominican... why should those players be at an advantage due to the lax laws in their countries? Why should the some players be allowed to use HGH by Rx and not allow others to do the same? Baseball made it's bed in the late 80's and early 90's... now they need to sleep in it. I'd be fully satisfied if Buddy Boy came out and said 'hey, it wasn't against the rules... it was against the law, but the law is not the governing body of MLB. If any player was brought up on charges of trafficing a controlled substance MLB would have addressed the situation at the time. We're committed to cleaning up the game, but everything in this report is ex-post-facto. There'll be no stripping of records, or asterics, or any penalties to players named in the report... baseball is moving forward with a commitiment toward the integity of the game."

Frankly I think it's pretty stupid that all this went to Congress... they have better things to do, like figure out how to fund education for the children of this country, or get us the f#$& out of Iraq. ~josh
