Oh, and it just gets richer. From a post on Yahoo! from this morning:
"Interpol and Major League Baseball investigators have given evidence to the World Anti-Doping Agency that criminal gangs selling performance-enhancing drugs also manipulate sports results for betting purposes, according to an Australian media report."
This should come as a surprise to NOBODY who has an inkling that the games are dirty.
One of the major avenues in which many people believe the games to be dirty is a question of the influence which peddlers of illegal performance-enhancing drugs have over the players.
Those peddlers could end careers in an instant with the truth. The loyalty is no longer to self and team, but to those peddlers.
It's gotten so bad that one has to question every meaningful sporting event. Was that Atlanta player's three errors simply a matter of poor performance, or was he beholden to somebody?
We do not know now.
