MLB and Steroids: Will the Debates Ever End?

As many people are aware, there has been an on-going issue regarding the use of illegal substances in Major League Baseball. This controversy has caught much criticism from the public, especially those thinking the player's union is to blame for not imposing strict drug testing policies. Recently, I saw on ESPN that Congress met to further assess the situation. I found it interesting that it was repeatedly noted that although there appear to be more "important" issues to be discussed by Congress, this topic heavily influences young athletes; members of Congress claimed this notion of such heavy, negative influence on our youth is a topic that is just as important as any. A recent article on ESPN.com further analyzes the most current news going on with this issue, including Congress' questioning of the accuracy of Tejada's testimony to federal authorities. Personally, I am growing weary of hearing about steroids and cannot wait for MLB to return to a period of normalcy, whatever that may be!
