Well, look who's being questioned about using illegal performance enhancing drugs again. Jason Giambi is out to set the record straight about past allegations...or at least when his lawyers and agent allow him to speak or advise him to utter more than a yes/no response. His failed amphetamines test has draw much attention as the Yankees first baseman was scheduled to have a meeting in the commissioner's office Wednesday. According to baseball officials Jason has already admitted to using substances to boost his performance. Whether steroids evidence surfaces or not, who knows.
I'd like to see a professional baseball player admit to his wrongs and accept the projected punishment like a man. This way as a person everyone will at least respect him. Too many other superstars' careers lay in the shadows of controversy and secrecy. Obviously, not all players will admit to breaking the rules or cheating. The best thing MLB can do is acknowledge these lingering problems, investigate as they've continued to do, take corrective action, and don't allow franchises to reward those who cheat with hefty salaries or bonuses.
If this case with Giambi is handled carefully and a suspension is upheld maybe other Major Leaguers will have the courage to come forth and announce illegal drug use...then again FAT chance of that happening! Besides it's about time rich owners like George Steinbreiner stop pampering and spoiling their players. (Also, what's with this lousy cheapskate only donating $1 million to Virginia Tech?) I have a feeling anyway, a few salaries on the roster will drop after this season. This summer I don't want to hear about any freak accidents involving syringes during games or cases involving corked bats or touched up baseballs. Let the Great American Past time be clean and live on in all it's glory!
