Red, White and Blew...

So America' s game has now had its darkest day and what have we come to discover...well, little that wasn't suspected or known already. Ball players like many other athletes are on the juice and they only have themselves to blame. The league turned a blind eye and are now paying the price. George Mitchell is coming out and shedding some light on the matter years after these events occurred and many of the players involved have retired. This report put it all out there, named names and now many are thinking of legal action sighting that they were not guilty and are now being slandered. But whatever the case maybe, it was and is a problem. The positive tests are still there and Mitchell made suggestions to stop this once and for all. Perhaps this is presumptuous as Bob Mcowan of the Fan 590 in Toronto pointed out, and I agree to a certain extent, but the fact is at least he is trying and clearly whatever Bud Selig and his minions were doing, if anything, didn't work, and his era as commissioner is a joke as far as I'm concerned. I am loyal hockey fan and while the league's testing policy isn't as modern as some the lack of positive tests proves the athletes are cleaner, or better at avoiding detection, but I highly doubt that is the case. No sport has seen doping like this before since American track teams in Sydney. American athletes are not the only dirty ones, and are not the first to suffer for it but they seem to have a terrible track record, worse then anyone else at the moment. It speaks volumes of the culture and of what they have allowed their athletes to become for glory. Integrity and honesty have been forsaken and all but abandoned it seems for the long ball and the all mighty dollar. Maybe now we'll listen to what's really going on in the locker room.
