Why, well let me tell ya...

ESPN.com: "NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi lashed out Sunday at a potentially damaging biography of Alex Rodriguez, questioning why the book was written and its accelerated release date." - Really? Let's see... famous, arrogant, baseball player plus illegal drug abuse equals money for someone, right?

Major League Baseball's steroid problem is a train wreck. First off, the players shouldn't have used steroids when they were declared against the rules. If they'd come clean when the investigations started, and the now infamous list was created, this would've all died off. Andy Pettitte came clean, he's been forgiven, and the transgression against the sport forgotten.

MLB will survive and it'll be better for it. Maybe they should consider allowing performance enhancing substances? Monitor it, completely, via MLB provided doctors. Then everyone could, if they wanted, be on a level playing field. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but it would prevent this form of cheating in the game.
