A-Roid and other thoughts on PED's...

Today, Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez came out and admitted in an interview with Peter Gammons that he did use performance enhancing drugs (steroids, growth hormone) from 2001-2003.and...?The issue I have with this interview is not that he did the steriods, but that he is on record as LYING about it, including a nationally televised interview with Katie Couric.There was a time in America when lying was one of the worst things you could be caught doing and have it affect your career. Your word meant nothing, your opinions meant nothing. Your point of view was meaningless. Not anymore, though. Maybe since it was ok for the sitting President to lie to America by stating "I am not a crook!". Maybe it started after the sitting President told the world that he didn't inhale, didn't have sex with woman, etc, etc.As a huge sports fan, specifically baseball, I've learned how to "handle" and manage this steroid controversy, and I would encourage all of you to do the same. 1) I will never pay for tickets to attend a game. I will go if they are free, but will not purchase anything at the park. 2) I no longer purchase any sports memorabilia or logo'd clothing. I love my Mets, but do not own a jersey, a hat or anything with the logo.3) I would not allow my child to play Little League on any team named after an actual team. Names like "Dragons", Mighty Oaks", Raiders, etc. are just as effective.4) I go out of my way to avoid purchasing any product or service ever shucked and hawked by these liars and cheaters. Things like the phone company and such you can't avoid...What is also troubling is that these guys took this test voluntarily, under the agreement that they will remain anonymous in perpetuity. Someone kept the information and leaked it. I would conduct a full scale investigation to find out how it was leaked and fire anyone connected to the leak.A-Roid claimed he used it when he felt an incredible pressure for having to perform. yes, pressure from a $250 million dollar contract that he accepted.By the way, when will the first team stand up and sue their player who tests positive, for false representation? Couldn't they collect a portion or all of their paid out salary? I would think so. Anyway, I'm through with supporting these clowns, and none of them should be voted into a Hall of Fame BEFORE Pete Rose gets in.
