Check out this unfortunate state of affairs in the world of sports today…
How are we supposed believe anything anymore?
Performance enhancing drugs have seemingly taken over everything that is special in sports.
Melky Cabrera was suspended 50 games today because he tested positive for testosterone. Out of nowhere, the Melk Man had transformed himself into one of the game’s best players over the past couple of years. He currently leads the MLB in batting with a .346 average.
Steroids…of course.
That’s the easy explanation these days. Anytime something extraordinary happens, it can’t be natural. It is guys like Melky Cabrera that are making people lose faith. As expected, Cabrera was a fan favourite in his first year with the San Francisco Giants. No one could have foreseen him slashing .346/.390/.516 even after a career year with Kansas City in 2011.
I am not going to vilify Melky Cabrera. Oddly enough, he admitted to his wrongful use of performance enhancing drugs. Melky Cabrera…

Thank you for the reblog . I couldn’t agree more. I kind of had i the back of my head if Melky was jucing. He wasn’t doing all this with the Yankees. In fact they were trying to get him away as quickly as possible from Robinson Cano, thinking he was a bad influence. Now we know why. I also started thinking about Usain Bolt and how fast is he really? There have been whispers about him too. This isn’t without merit, remember Ben Johnson ?? I do find myself when players like Melky have career years or other players in other sports do extraordinary feats are they jucied? Boxers have to be included in this now too. Scary to think winning at all costs(Cheating)is more important than winning fair and square.

Yes, it is a sad commentary on what’s been going on for far too long. Imagine if there was a drug that your co- worker could take to be better on the job than you. I mean someone didn’t get to play on the Giants because Melky was better than them. And how about Bruce Bochy and the G.M. And the owners? So many people are affected by cheaters..right down to the fans.
