More Jason Giambi and Drug Testing…
According to ESPN, Yankees DH, Jason Giambi, failed an amphetamines test within the last year, the Daily News reported Wednesday.
The newspaper reported that with the failed amphetamines test, Giambi has been subjected to six additional tests for one year. The newspaper did not cite any sources in its report.
My say:
Baseball wants to turn a blind eye and just not admit there is a problem. As long as they raking in the dough, it’s much ado about nothing. If baseball really wanted to stop PED and drug use in the sport, they’d institute a zero-tolerance stance and introduce WADA-Olympic style testing.
Surely, it can’t be about money - right?
When baseball gets serious on drug testing, then I’ll be convinced world peace will happen.
Giambi is still playing, thus it shows baseball is not serious about the problem…

I just read about Giambi over at Highbrid Nation and the writer over there really put things in perspective for me. The media has really blew the whole “performance enhancing drug” thing out of proportion. Seriously, I’m not saying its ok to use these drugs but can we please stop acting like these drugs give athletes some kind of super human advantage over thier peers.
