sdelmonteSo I'm probably supposed to have an opinion about the Mitchell Report.
I do.
Big whoop. We knew about this, and despite what the sportwriters think, we never cared then and we don't care now.
And - and someday I go into detail about this - the idea that there are drugs that can make me healer faster and make me stronger, and that are so totally illegal to the point that we can't do any research into making it safe? Something seems wrong about that.
ETA: I gotta say this. There is a quote in one article from the father of a high schooler who may have died due to steroid use saying "this is about our kids' lives." Since when do we completely ban anything in this country because kids shouldn't use it and because they might emulate adults? By that logic, we should ban alcohol.
