I'm with Gamenotes - the whole thing is a few years late and a few dollars short. Given the dangers posed by steroids, it's absolutely offensive that all of the people involved in the complacent coverup weren't concerned with the health of the players, and the youth they influence. And maybe we, as fans, should concentrate less on the "cheating" aspect and more on the drug abuse problem as well. After all, users aren't just cheating - they are breaking the law through illicit use of a controlled substance.

Wow, that's humiliating. I'm now revoking my own commenting privileges. Hope they take that down 'fore someone gets sued . . .

Kenny - I think you're confusing Billy Beane and Billy Bean.

Billy Beane said the guy was perfectly designed, psychologically, to play the game. The physical stuff, apparently, Nails got right in the ass. Wonder how Billy feels about that? (Ahem.)

But isn't this whole article/study about 7 years too late? I guess I am glad they did it, but we already know that a lot of players took steroids in MLB over the last decade, and perhaps beyond, and that little was done to discourage it. I mean, if Selig and the Union have already come around, then you know you are late to the party.

You guys are right on. The story was terrific and well worth an hour of my time. What else are you gonna do at work, right? I used to have so much respect for Dykstra too. I always loved the way he always played the game hard. Now he's just another juicer. This entire era is tainted. The Bonds part of the article was my favorite.

Someone needs to track his financial advice to see how much money would be gained or lost.

Has this issue hit newsstands yet? I looked last night and couldn't find it. Anyone know?

Imagine if that was just part one of a five part cover story that will be printed once every six months. Gotta think those writers are taking their own meds to get steroids out of their heads right now.

I totally agree. That article was a great read.
