Steroids

ESPN the Magazine and ESPN.com have an amazingly thorough (especially for them) report on the proliferation of steroids in baseball. Despite the assertions given to us by Selig and the MLB, reading something like this really gives you the impression that Canseco and Caminiti weren't exaggerating when they approximated that 50-85% of the players in the league were on some kind of steroid way back when the steroids first hit the fan in what I think was 2002 in the Sports Illustrated cover story where Caminiti admitted his using.

Anyways, the whole thing is definitely worth a read if you have time. It would appear that baseball has a problem that isn't going away, no matter what they want you to believe.
