Cheating
Barry Bonds is a cheater.
So is Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi and Jose Canseco. For that matter, so are the New England Patriots.
Cheating is bad for sport. Period. Allowing it to continue, and allowing those guilty of it to keep participating in the sport they've cheated, is a disgrace. Every one of them, from Bonds to Belichik should be banned for life. Think about it, if Pete Rose has been banned for gambling, all of these guilty people also deserve a ban.
Obviously, since this includes a head coach, I believe that this ban should not be limited to players. Team representatives who cheat are also guilty and should also receive a lifetime ban.
This would include, if the arrows are pointed in the right direction, a certain director of the Boston Red Sox. The mysterious outing of Paul Byrd (also should be banned) within 48 hours of his scheduled start in the ALCS needs to be investigated. If, in fact, the leak came from the Mitchell investigation (who else would have had this knowledge?) then he is guilty of cheating. The leak and its timing certainly placed Mitchell's employer in an advantageous position.
I am not accusing George Mitchell of cheating. Yet. But signs are pointing that way.
More proof is right here. This is the list of players named so far in the steroids investigation. Note that a certain team from a certain New England city is missing.
Curious, isn't it?
