When you say "Sports", which sports are you referring to? Only Major League Baseball, ? How about Pro Football? Hockey? MMA fighting? etc. I would like to know if all these and other other sports have anti-doping laws? I know that cycling does, but Wrasslin'?

I really couldn't give a rat's ass about some overpaid ballplayer doing steroids. I want mandatory, monthly testing of all members of Congress and the POTUS. They have a lot more impact on my life than some hopped up left fielder shagging fly balls for $14 million a year.

I have boycotted all pro sports for years. I go and watch the local high school games. These are the people that play with heart. Also it only costs you $5.00 to get a seat and a hot dog is $1.00, drinks are $.50
Go out and support your local high school sports.

Phil, I agree, but the commish is an ineffective jerk. The players union says they want to clean up the game, but what do they really think? The fact that Braun will be back and the fact that A-Roid is already back playing is just further evidence that the Mr. Selig is not able to handle this as it should be. The way the game is now, the potential monitory reward for cheating still out ways the risk of being caught. At least that is the perception of those who could care less about the integrity of the game that made them wealthy or even their own reputations.
They must deal far more harshly with these players if they really want to straighten things out and restore credibility.

Don't mean to be a pessimist here but I'm afraid it's just too late. It's no longer about the game in the eyes of the owners, the unions or the players, it's all about the money. As was mentioned sometime back if you want to see a good game go to a minor league park and you'll have a much better experience.
