" 'When I first heard about [players being linked to the clinic],' Ortiz said. 'I started saying that us, as baseball players, we pretty much might be the dumbest athletes of all the sports because there's a history of players doing things like that and later on getting caught. We're talking about six or seven years. So how come in 2011 or 2012, there are players still being caught in the same situation?' "
There is a history of myself doing things like that and later on getting caught.
"Ortiz has a very valid point. There isn't another sport out there that faces as many questions about performing enhancing drugs as baseball and a lot of it has to do with the arrogance and ignorance of the players."
Ask David Ortiz if it was worth it. He'd be lying if he said no. I hope there are no long-term health problems, but as long as he's relatively healthy, then it was worth it.
A more interesting question is why society focuses solely on baseball players.
You won't find any Front Page outrage or Senatorial soul-searching over Hedo Turkoglu.
