MLB Wants Kids To “Just Say No” To Steroids
After years of fumbling and bumbling, the LOS ANGELES TIMES reports that Bud Selig and MLB have finally figured out how to solve that pesky steroid problem. It’s not increased testing, or harsher penalties for first time offenders. No, it’s funding an anti-steroid Web site targeted at kids. Problem solved, Congress, so you can put away your subpoenas and leave baseball alone.
MLB is contributing roughly $2 million a year to a Web site created by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America that encourages youths to avoid taking performance enhancing drugs like steroids. The money will make sure that the site comes up when people search for questions like “Where can I get steroids?” It’s an alternative to what came up before, which was simply a map of Barry Bonds’ house.
