Good thing the guys at the daily News are so diligent exposing steroid cheats and clamoring for better testing. Nate Vinton has this article about how MLB is still dragging their feet while trying to make it seem to Congress that they are doing the minimum necessary to NOT trigger more hearings.
From the article:
Nearly a year has passed since the Mitchell Report described the rampant use of human growth hormone in baseball, but it will be years before drug testing can tell the same story.
That was the unmistakable lesson Monday in Beverly Hills, where Major League Baseball sponsored a day-long medical conference exploring the barriers to HGH testing in professional sports.
The biggest challenge appears to be the fact that despite recent progress incorporating nanotechnology, no urine test exists for HGH – and the baseball players’ union remains opposed to blood testing, even though a certified blood test has emerged for the Olympics.
“Today’s conference suggests to me that a lot of good work is being done by a lot of well-intentioned people, but there is a lot of work to be done before we have a reliable, validated, universally accepted test for the detection of human growth hormone,” said Gene Orza, the union’s chief operating officer, who attended the conference.
Universally accepted?  Read: “unless everyone in the world agrees with it, incluing the players’ unions junk scientists, we won’t do it and WANT to cheat. So screw you. Now pay us the millions we and our agents rightfully deserve, chumps.”
Steroid cheats? HANG ‘EM HIGH. In fact, hanging’s too good for ’em. Like this chump.
[…] Meanwhile, the Daily News does a great job exposing how baseball makes up bogus, junk science excuse…. Jeff Novitzky, all I have to say is Go, Go, GO! Hang ‘em high. On second thought, hanging’s too good for ‘em. […]
