SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

The mainstream media has been nothing less than shrill in their coverage of performance-enhancing drugs in sports, especially baseball ^[1]. Lisa Olson ^[2] adds her two-cents today with a piece on Barry Bonds’ personal trainer and Jere Longman has a cautionary tale about steroids and a Texas teenager in the New York Times. For a more measured and clear-headed take, check out Rob Neyer’s ^[3] latest, as well as a lengthy, and exceedingly well-researched piece by Dayn Perry ^[4] (thanks to Mike Emeigh at Baseball Primer’s Clutch Hits ^[5] for the link). Perry’s article is almost a year old, but it still holds up and should be required reading for anyone interested in the steroid issue.
