2007 - The Year Of Cheating
Hello. 2007 will go down in the sports world as the year of cheating. There were very few sports that escaped.
Cycling has Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis. Sprinting had Marion Jones. Baseball's Mitchell Report cited Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Eric Gagne, etc. Football had Shawn Merriman. Hockey had Rick Tochett. Basketball had a ref scandal. Tennis had a match fixing scandal.
Even golf was forced to act with new drug policies, especially when Gary Player said someone confided to him about using.
Fortunately curling went through without a Joe Frans repeat.
Does this hurt sports? Absolutely! Will 2008 be different? Time will tell.
This is my last blog of 2007. Happy holidays! Talk to you in 2008.
Regards,
Steve
