Steroids fatigue: Have we heard enough about performance-enhancing drugs? Plus: Zimmer has advice for Yankees. Our advice: Do the opposite!
  • Problem is roid investigations never lead anywhere

    How can we get worked up about these steroid stories when Bonds, Giambi, Sosa and Gary Matthews Jr are all playing and doing well right now?

    Until baseball starts suspending or banning their top tier stars for obvious abuse, why does it matter when they bust these selling rings? Its sort of the reverse of regular drug enforcement. There, we want to see the kingpins brought down, not the low level dealers or the users. But in steroids, we don't care so much about the dealers or even the kingpins. We want to see the abusers brought low, and that just plain hasn't happened.
