And the prancing media says it's about time.
Well, some of 'em prance.
MLB makes clean break
Mike Lupica: "We can never go back and save the record books from the way they were poisoned in the 1990s and then into this century. But steroids in baseball end now. They end because in three years, the sport has gone from having no drug policy to having the toughest."
FULL STORY
Nope. Forget for a moment that Mikey Lupica was one of the ones praising the feats of anabolic steroid cheats such as Barry Bonds...praising is the wrong word as Lil Mikey is a moonbat personified and loves, just loves his stars but especially if they come in a minority wrapping...his announcement, and moonies love announcements too, is full of shit.
Athletes the world over continue to use anabolic drugs. Regardless of the testing. There are far MORE chemists working on masking agents and undetectable steroids than those working on how to find them and so it will be until the end of time.
What tough drug programs do is make it more difficult to get away with cheating, and weed out the athletes who don't believe in or never even heard of Darwin. Survival of the smartest. Or the ones with really good agents. You or I could surf the web and pretty much find out how to use steroids without detection and imagine the resources available to someone earning millions of dollars a year.
Now will Lil Mikey STOP praising his beloved cheaters? Will he name names and hop off of the bandwagon?
Nope. Steroid use hardly ends, and as with most uber-liberals, it's really the fawning that counts and from week to week the not ready for prime-time writers like Lupica will toss out a story such as this one, then go right back to telling all who will listen how so and so is a terrific player while conveniently disremembering that so and so was and most likely continues to be a cheat and a felon.
"You can thank the commissioner of baseball for that, and Congress, and a deadbeat named Jose Canseco and a dead ballplayer named Ken Caminiti."
Canseco was the one who dropped a dime on so very many of wee-Mikey's love interests, strike that, favorite players, so he is forever on the who-cares-if-I'd love-for-him-to-nail-me-in-the-seat-CANSECO-LIED-BONDS-CRIED list.
"Were they all slow to address this problem? They were."
And the media wasn't? YOU weren't? You weren't making a wonderful living praising the exploits of the cheats? Enabling them? Protecting them? Cretin.
"We are all slow on steroids. We all waited too long once the home runs started to bring baseball back."
Nope. Plenty of folks were NOT slow, Mike. Plenty were raising cane about this from day one, but not YOU, so stop already with the oh boy oh boy but we ALL were fooled bullshit. Makes you appear dumber than you really are. Well.
"The door had been opened a crack. Now that door gets kicked in. Fifty games for a first offense, then 100, then goodbye. Sure baseball was late on this. Better late than never."
And that makes it all better. Oh well, we all made a ton of cash off of these doped up kids, but that was then this is now, and now means all is forgiven. Fuck it is. You and your employer and the American media as a whole promoted these felons when baseball was slumping and the advertisers were staying away in droves. 170 pound men became 230 pound men in the blinking of an eye and as long as they were that marvelous combination of gifted athlete and minority player you fawned and gushed and swindled the gullible public into reading your poetry of their motion and the crowds came back and with them the advertising money.
They couldn't have done it alone. Baseball and the cheats that worked for or alongside baseball COUNTED on the media to help them cheat. But now all is forgiven, the past is the past, and so what if a crook like Bonds gets into the record books with the help of a needle, right, Mike?
