I want to say upfront that I am not an advocate for cheating, drug consumption, or any illegal act.  But, I have some concerns regarding baseball's cancer that was revealed yesterday.  I have a question about the federal government listing names of players who were accused by two men, who appear to have a much better memory than most of us over the past several years.  And, as for the federal government I have an issue with our congressmen having a hearing regarding this list and not passing a bill to support our troops.  These headlines about steroid use has captured every print media and blog site.  Great timing for the Dems when they are trying to cut off funding for the military.  My biggest question is did these players do something illegal.  If memory serves me I can buy HGH off the counter at WalMart!  I went through the list that included where the player bought the product and noted that the Health and Rejuvenation Center was one place some of the players had patronized.  Have you looked at their website?  Take a look at the site.  As a grandma the promises sounded inviting to me.  I even entertained the possibility that some of our older congressmen just might be visiting the center.  They seem to have lots of energy to pass questionable bills at 2AM and some look pretty sharp on the campaign trail considering the grueling schedules they keep.
Many things are going through my mind in regards to the reaction to Mitchell's findings and for some reason my red flags are going up.  These players have been tried and convicted, without ever having a day in court.  Is that the American way?  They will never go to court and will never have a way of proving they were not involved.  We have allowed two men, whom I would like more information on their backgrounds, to say they serviced these players with steroids.  I also question what type steroids are being used, there is chemical HGH and there is natural HGH.  Could this be a way for the feds to stop the sale of all natural remedies.  Trust me the drug companies would love that idea.  I am also concerned as to why baseball has been targeted, wrestling had a steroid user murder his family and commit suicide.  Steroids are not limited to professional baseball.  Anyone wanting to stay young and vibrant is open to taking the steroid route.  I would be willing to bet you would find equally as many names on a list if you investigated Hollywood, congress, all sports, and todays baby boomers.
In the end, I want to know what type of steroid therapy each player used, if it is legal or not, and if they participated in anything illegal I want them to have their day in court.  I do not want our congressmen wasting the valuable time, we pay for, dragging baseball players through the dirt!  This is a law enforcement issue.
