Yeah, he screw...First, Pete Rose is being screwed. Yeah, he screwed up but c'mon. He should be in the Hall of Fame and should be coaching a team or something right now. But anyway...<br /><br />Personally, I'm bothered with the way Baseball and Football have dragged their feet with their drug policy. I'm sure you don't pay much attention, but take a look at the sport of pro cycling and what goes on with their drug testing. You can't take a cough med without checking if anything is on the list...that may be a bit to far the other way but, at least they are testing and, well we know Lance Armstrong is clean...or was before he retired the first time--he's back this season, can't wait for the TdF in July.<br /><br />Sports in this country didn't do anything until the Feds started doing some digging. The new drug policy is full of holes and isn't going to do much. Bottom line, players on active rosters should be tested on a regular basis and players should be randomly selected after each game as well. It's the only way to make sure the sport is clean.<br /><br />As for the Dodger bum...well, he plays for that team in blue, he's guilty without even reading the facts. ;) Oh, says it was something in an OTC med. yeah? whatever. If the players can't read the list of what they can and can't take, then they deserve to be banned. Besides, a month and a half is nothing.
