[...] dealing trainer — why would they want him as a batting practice pitcher? Easy answer — Lo Duca was pushing for it. But that was the exact problem — McNamee had no direct qualifications to be a batting [...]

I could not name a single player besides Clemens, Petit, and Bonds (not sure if he is even in it) in the Mitchell report. No one cares. It’s over , and what is done is done. If the leagues are serious about testing, great. But they were not in the past so players did what they could get away with. As for the “but it is illegal” argument (sorry to see Jim Rome use it often). I’m not condoning drug use, but I would ask you to look at the history of bad laws. People like Ghandi, Martin Luther King JR, and Jesus were punished for breaking the “law”. I’m not comparing Barry or Roger to historically great people I’m just tired of people saying things about the legality of issues without thinking any further than “our masters say it is not ok so it must be wrong”.

Completely agree… I mean just look at Andy… we’re using terms like “honest” and “standup guy” for someone who cheated. But we use those terms becuase he was able to man up and he not only admitted he made a mistake but he actually gave it a face by acknowledging that it was HGH. When are athletes gonna learn that we don’t want to crucify them, we just want them to be honest with themselves and with us. It only gets worse if they try to fight the obvious truth (i.e. Clemens).
