Let me show ya somethin!!!
Alex Rodriguez, Toronto outfielder Melky Cabrera, Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal, Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez and former Padres pitcher Cesar Carillo have all just entered a steroid scandal. Their names were discovered in the personal notebooks of Anthony Bosch, the director of the since-shuttered Biogenesis clinic who was not licensed to practice medicine in Florida. These notebooks contain all their names (some coded) and detailed regimens. It also goes into how doping in sports is done and how testing alone will never stop the cheaters.
This has a serious impact on not only the upcoming baseball season, but on people's lives. They're already talking about possible charges upcoming. Furthermore, what does Bud Selig do? It seems that the Steroid Era was finally starting to move to the rearview mirror and now this. I'm sure hefty suspensions are forthcoming.
I know a few people around here love baseball. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on this. I'm not nearly as articulate as a lot of posters on here, so I leave it to you.
EDIT:
Part of me just wants to say, does this really surprise anyone? I mean, that's like saying it was a surprise when Lance Armstrong said he did. Not saying it's right, just saying as a sports fan, I know on issues like this, I'm very jaded.
