why can't these...

baseball players just admit it? i hear on the radio that one after another is denying the mitchell report. just admit it already. this is why european athletes, and more specific cycling; has more integrity, because they do something about.

during this past year's tour de france...the leader in yellow lied to the team about his whereabouts. out. the team dumped him. just for lying. sure he might have been doing something 'illegal', but we don't know that. cyclist caught doping. out. two years. we don't want to see your face. and they admit it. and maybe in two years you'll see them on the pro circuit. if you do...they often talk about how they messed up, and cheated. we often get cases in cycling like that of landis. who was called out for a form of cheating, and he took it to court. he lost, but he challenged it.

which brings me to my next point...why don't these guys challenge it? why don't they take these people who put together this report to court for defamation of character? all they do is hold press reports, and say that they didn't do it.

two years ago at the tour a similar report came out, and guess what? any name in that report was kicked out of the tour. no one was found guilty at that time, but if your name was on the list...out. granted some never returned to cycling, because of that report; because they probably were guilty of doping.

all i hear from the mlb, is that they are going to do something about the steroid issue in the sport. well? i've seen nothing done. do i really care? not so much. if you want to 'cheat', and take steroids go for it. destroy your body. if winning means that much that you are willing to risk your life for it...do it. do i agree with it? would i allow my child cheat, in any way? would i do it? the answer to all of these is no. if i had a child that did that, and i found out...i'd probably beat him within an inch of his/her life. for the simple fact...it's not worth it.

all i'm saying is that if the mlb has such a problem with it...do something about it. take action. suspend all the players on that list for however long. tell the players...if you cheat in any way shape or form...you can't play. that's it. take a stand. i remember hearing the 'penalty' for getting caught (i can't remember it exactly), but it wasn't much. something like being suspended for a couple of games. big whoop.

step up and do something about, or shut up about the whole thing. let them take steroids, and be done with it. accept it. or take action against it. either one. i'm just getting sick of hearing about it, and nothing being done about it.

extra...i'm going to start putting a 'lyric of the day' at the end of each post. just because i've come across some pretty good lines in the music that i've been listening to recently. so here we go...

lyric of the day...
'baby quick your crying put the clown britches on.
the wheels keep rolling
and another mile post gone
all along the road behind
can't you hear me calling
just like the sad whale song
i'm on that road behind.'
