Faster, Higher, And Stronger: Why Athletes Should Have The Choice To Use Performance-Enhancing Drugs, Robert J. Bello
Faster, Higher, And Stronger: Why Athletes Should Have The Choice To Use Performance-Enhancing Drugs, Robert J. Bello
Robert J Bello
From: Robert Bello Date: January 28, 2008 RE: Abstract Performance-enhancing drugs can be safely and effectively used when taken in smaller dosages to help athletes perform better. They are outlawed in sports by current legislation due to the adverse effects caused by high dosages and a decades old assumption that those are the typical side effects and usage patterns.

Major League Baseball As Enron: The True Meaning Of The Mitchell Report, Mitchell J. Nathanson
Mitchell J Nathanson
Although the December 13, 2007 release of the Mitchell Report received attention for the names of the players included within, what was overlooked by many was the true import of the report: namely, the indictment of Major League Baseball itself as a corrupt entity. As such, the players identified as steroid abusers within the report were merely reflections of the larger, systemic problem that existed for decades within MLB rather than the problem in and of themselves. This article examines this revelation in detail.

The Sovereign Nation Of Baseball: Why Federal Law Does Not Apply To "America's Game" And How It Got That Way, Mitchell J. Nathanson
