A Sportswriters Issue
King,
I've always felt that the PED scandal was the result of 2 factors: sportswriters suffering from guilt that they ignored the issue for so long and secondly because it began to involve Barry Bonds, a man almost universally loathed by the typing class.
King, please write about this issue more. Help us understand if there is a difference between use and abuse of these drugs. Help fans understand how the testing process works. If Radomski names names and names drugs, help us understand what those drugs do. Did taking the drugs make that player better? Why is that substance banned.
I would like to learn something about PED usage beyond the hand-wringing, guilt-tripping, axe grinding screeds of most sportswriters. You are pretty good at this, i think. So have at it.
