A Baseball Career Without Steroids. "My first team was the Hanover Park Braves," he says. "The very first game I ever played in, I hit a home run." Fasano had watched his father work as a carpenter, his mother as a custodian. As he honed his skills on the baseball diamond, he began to crave the golden ring -- the fame and fortune that accompanied major-league success. He wanted … the dream.

I'm sure this will earn him few friends in MLB circles. And everyone knows about the 'users' now. They were listed in a published report. It's easy for him to point them out because someone else has already done the dirtiest of that work. Can you imagine if he'd said this stuff ten years ago when it could have made a difference? When it was actually costing him jobs and bigger contracts? That would have been quite courageous. Instead, it seems he never considered that. He contemplated joining the masses and taking stuff too, but he never mentions, and the reporter never seems to ask, why he didn't publicly (or privately perhaps) question the integrity of those beating him out. It's a glaring omission from this story.

The Doping Dilemma Scientific American contributer, and Skeptics Society Founder, Michael Shermer uses Game Theory to explain why doping has become rampant in cycling and other sports. He also uses the theory to outline some actions that can be taken to remedy the problem.

Tour of France rider Beltran in custody after doping "When are these idiots going to learn that it's over?" Thats why they call it dope, buddy. The Tour continues its downward spiral into cheating scandal hell.

Pseudo-related question: I know that the NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB anti-doping policies are laughable. What does EPL testing/punishment look like? And other Euro-centric leagues/sports? Is the testing comprehensive? Punishment severe? For what it's worth... Today's stage was awesome. I won't go into to detail for fear of spoiling anything for those in North America still waiting to watch the replay this evening, but it was great. And thanks for the photos, fatty. Good stuff.

Do you folks who have 'given up on cycling' watch other sports and just pretend no one is doping/juicing? Do you just ignore the fact that the same problem is as common (if not more) in other sports. Or have you just given up on all of them. When I look at other sports I think to myself, "Too many are getting away with it for me to believe that it is not widespread." I give credit to cycling. At least they try.

The main difference between cycling and many other sports --- Cycling cheaters are caught and punished. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Some of these guys are still cheating despite the comprehensive anti-doping programs in place, deep impact on their sport, obvious personal repercussions and the threat it presents to their entire team. Now, take a moment and imagine what a (fill-in-any-sport-here) player is doing when he faces much more limited testing and, by comparison, virtually no consequences at all. Now, that is a farce. Even with all the crap involved, I'm perfectly happy to enjoy a sport that takes these matters seriously rather than putting on a show and sweeping things under a rug. And I'm with apoch, cheering on Highroad/Columbia, Slipstream/Garmin-Chipotle & CSC/Saxo Bank.

My favorite part of the article is the screwed up quotation marks in the author's pretend conversation.
"Did he score a goal one lad probably asked another?"
"No the other replied, I think he got a red card."
Awesome.
