Supposedly, the Boston Red Sox slugger, Big Papi, was one of the 100-plus steroid users, along with then-teammate Manny Ramirez, busted in a trial-run year of Major League Baseball testing in 2003.
Now, do I think all of his decline is due to at least reducing his juicing? No, but a fair amount is.
Meanwhile, in what gets this filed under “hypocrisy alert” tagging, too, in February, Ortiz said players who tested positive for juicing should be suspended for a full year.
Instead of getting Pete Rose re-eligible for the Hall of Fame, Commissioner Bud Selig needs to sit down with the players’ union and start addressing a way to responsibly talk about this to the world of fans.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
