Say what?
During Sunday night's Cubs-Mets broadcast, the subject of Rafael Palmeiro's "accidental" steroid ingestion came up. While Palmeiro's contention that it was all an accident seems laughable now, what if someone actually, honestly took steroids unknowingly?
We all know what the NFL would do. But Morgan was concerned about the equity of it all, since many players spend their offseasons in their home countries, where items banned by the FDA are legal. Shouldn't some mechanism be in place, Morgan asked, for foreign players who might make an honest mistake?
Can someone explain to Morgan that some of MLB's banned substances are available over-the-counter in the United States?
