I’m having issues with Congress’ involvement in baseball’s steroids/hgh issues. This is not to say that i fully agree with how MLB has handled anything up to this point (the whole turn a blind eye to make money and only go as far as you can get away with method). I definitely am in the “baseball spent way too long pretending nothing was happening” camp and hold MLB decision makers and team owners primarily responsible for turning a blind eye to the happenings of an era.
However, members of the congressional committee and other lawmakers keep insisting that they are opening their investigation in order to protect children and young athletes from causing irreversible harm to their bodies. Thus my issue: can anybody honestly say that the biggest threat to our youth today is performance enhancing drugs? Is anyone prepared to defend such ludicrous assertions against the threats of a pathetic health care system, poorly funded schools, teen alcohol and tobacco abuse, or even depression/eating disorders/self image issues? Please...
