There's one thing that really irks me in the way anti-doping efforts are covered in the sports news. A headline in today's USA Today gets right down to it:
War on performance-enhancing drugs drags on with no end in sight
Of course it will never end!
Let's see how silly this looks when we replace "performance-enhancing drugs" with other similar terms.
War on recruiting violations drags on with no end in sight
War on crime drags on with no end in sight
War on Congressional corruption drags on with no end in sight
War on corporate malfeasance drags on with no end in sight
Performance-enhancing drugs are no different than these other issues. They will always be with us. We can do a good job of battling them or a bad job, but the thought that we could ever be rid of them is ridiculous.
In other news, Floyd Landis finally admitted he was using all kinds of PEDs for all of his professional career. He's named other athletes, managers and coaches involved.
