NYPD Applies Muscle To Steroid Cops

Rafael Piniero, NYPD Chief of Personnel recently issued a memo reminding and warning all police officers about the dangers and illegality of anabolic steroid and HGH drugs. The NYPD does not give random tests for these substances but that policy is now being reviewed. That’s probably a good idea considering the demands of the job. Aggressive or antisocial behavior resulting from the use of these substances must be prevented by those who carry badges and guns. Stick to the white powder, guys … on donuts.

Yankees & Mets Tickets Spike For 2008 At Record Levels

I applaud Major League Baseball for making an attempt to clean up the game by bringing the HGH and steroid problem to light with the Mitchell Report. It’s long overdue. Recommendations to enforce tougher testing procedures and suggestions to increase penalties for abuse need to be applied quickly. In truth though, I think the Mitchell Report only scratched the surface of the problem. MLB needs to do much, much more to get drugs out of baseball. I hope they do because it’s a great game. On a somewhat similar note, whoever can get steroids out of 2008’s bulked up ticket prices may be doing an even greater service for New York City baseball fans!
