MLB / scorum sports cast

I am thrilled to announce my 228th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk about the topic of Performance Enhancing Drugs/Steroids/HGH. I just watched this phenomenal documentary on Netflix call Icarus. Long story short, it is about the main lab scientist who ran the Russian doping program for all of their Olympic athletes and is now living in witness protection in the U.S. It was incredible and so good that I will watch it again. I highly recommend this if you have not seen it. That got me thinking about PED’s and professional sports. Does it bother you when you find out that athletes are cheating? Does it ruin sports for you? Do you assume everyone is guilty? I must say that it does not really bother me when I learn that a certain player is using steroids or HGH. We all knew that Sammy Sosa was juicing in the late 90’s. We all knew that Barry Bonds was cheating. But damn, it sure made for some fun MLB action! I assume the entire NFL is on PED’s. I even think a lot of NBA players are as well, including Lebron James. And I don’t care. The athlete still has to put in the work and be the one of the best in the world to play professional sports in the United States. If I have one wish though on this topic, it is that I wish the athletes would simply admit this after their playing days are over. Don’t lie about it when you are retired. Own up to it and don’t act like you played the game with clean urine… Am I crazy or do you agree? I would love to tell you all about it in my new Scorum Sports Cast.
