Drugs, drugs, drugs

So some surprising results this week. Apparently Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Tejada, and (gasp) Barry Bonds have all tested positive for performance enhancing drugs at some point over the last few years. What's really funny is how these developments have not garnered as much attention as Michael Phelps sucking on a bong.

To be fair, we haven't had any pictures of the baseballers' drug tests, and heaven forbid we put any real stock in a story that doesn't come with visual aids. But let's think on what this all means. Michael Phelps did something that at the most could bring on some minor charges and a little embarrassment. Marajuana doe not help you win.

Olympic Gold Medals: zero

And then there are these baseball players, who are making all sorts of profit with their drug use. Think about it, what would their salaries be without the performance enhancers? They would have made a lot, yes, but they owe a few million of their 8-digit salaries to the extra bulk and exercise recovery time afforded them by the cream or the clear or whatever you want to call it. For this, their crimes goes well beyond the integrity of the home run records. Oh yeah, they also perjured.
