Quote of the Day

SPORTING GOODS

The tests were either poorly administered or the results misread. In this situation,
with players' potential livelihoods on the line, that is not acceptable.
— Berkshire Eagle columnist Derek Gentile on the
questionable accuracy of MLB's latest round
of performance-enhancing drug tests
As someone wiser than I said recently, "When it comes to baseball's war on drugs, I'm a conscientious objector." The fact that, as Gentile points out, "of the 104 names of players who tested positive for either supplements, steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, only 96 are believed to be 'true' positives. That's a margin of error of 7.6 percent" demonstrates the incompetence of MLB's scientists. It's certainly not something that a competent examiner would hang his hat on.
