Quoted from the NYTimes about baseball:

“With less than four months remaining in the calendar year, 34 players — two in the major leagues and 32 in the minor leagues — have tested positive. At this time last year, 86 players had failed tests, and by the time the year concluded, the number had reached 93, with 81 in the minor leagues and 12 in the majors.”

Not that we didn't know it was going on...but WOW.

Besides the testing are they really doing anything about it? Have these riders been suspended?

And then, they talk about cycling...

The suspensions in baseball have become meaninful.

The difference between baseball and cycling is that we have not yet had a batter hit a home run to win the world series in the bottom of the 9th and then test positive the next day.
