This has been around for a few days now, and it's getting a lot of play on the talk shows. Frankly, I'm excited about the potential precedent implications this case has for the reported implementation of HGH tests in baseball (startin with the minors).
Look, I get that there is something downright unsettling about requiring players to submit themselves to a blood test - after all, it's literally an invasion of their private bodies because of the needles used to take the samples. I really think, though, that this has to happen.
Any sport is hypocritical if it spouts off on how illegal and unethical PEDs are but then doesn't do everything it can in order to prevent their use. Even the privacy concerns are right to be put aside - if you don't agree with the rules of testing, you can feel free to not play in professional sports. Is it harsh? Absolutely, but it's not like they're not being compensated for their troubles. When you sign up you agree to a slew of regulations, and then you get to earn more in one week than most people make in a year.
Suck it up, all you players. Clean up the sport, clean up your image, and let's move on.
