Funny.... you failed to address the Rx issue. I'm not saying they shouldn't obey the law, we all should. What I'm saying is, this is all after the fact... so MLB and Congress doesn't have a leg to stand on here. It wasn't against the rules, PERIOD. If they want to risk their careers and jail time... so be it. It could be worse, they could be running dog fighting opperations. The only thing they're doing is screwing themselves. Oh, and IT WASN'T AGAINST THE RULES.
I don't see Congress getting involved in the NBA's affairs... not even when a ref gets busted for betting on games he officiated, and admitting to ties with the mafia. Guns, drugs, and thugs with millions... I'm much more concerned about that than a bunch of guys shoving needles in their ass just so they can throw/hit a ball harder. ~josh
PS... I hear you stlhead, it sucks that we as a society hold these guys (and athletes in general) in such high regard that they seem to get away with murder (Ray Lewis). It is unfortunate that the true heros in this country like police officers, firefighters, EMTs and educators don't get the recognition or financial compensation that they deserve. I'm just saying that baseball NEW WHAT WAS UP... and did nothing. Now they're throwing all these guys under the bus just to try and save face. I'm not buying it.
