MLB : Messy Little Business


Bud Selig must want to spit. Once he opens his eyes, that is. After beaming at the World Series about how Major League Baseball had its best year at the gate, he now must go silent on the Barry Bonds matter. Asterisks, denials, hypocrisy. Professional baseball knows it needs steroids to go away, with Barry as the black hat. Professional cycling is years ahead of American sports in its fight against doping and its reconciliation with fans and sponsors. An ugly chapter, but the right thing to do. MLB needs to adopt a real doping / testing program so real athletic talent is rewarded.
