Chairman WAXMAN. Good morning. The committee will come to order. When our committee held its first hearing 3 years ago on Major League Baseball’s steroid scandal, I talked about how the culture of Major League clubhouses trickled down to become the culture of the high school gym. Later that same day, Dan Hooten and Denise and Raymond Garibaldi proved that connection with their powerful testimony about the deadly impact that steroids had on their sons. The Hooten and Garibaldi families were frustrated that baseball wasn’t doing more to confront its role in a growing epidemic. For our part, this committee made it clear to the players and owners that they needed to take steps, and major ones, to deal with this problem. The first was to dramatically strengthen the league’s test- (1) VerDate 11-MAY-2000 15:02 Apr 30, 2010 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 U:\DOCS\55749.TXT KATIE PsN: KATIE 2 ing program for performance-enhancing drugs. The second was to investigate the extent of steroid use. The starting point for addressing any scandal is in the facts. If a cheating scandal broke out at any university, the bare minimum we’d expect a thorough review of what happened and how it hap- pened. This, unfortunately, wasn’t baseball’s first impulse. The commissioner, the owners and the union didn’t want to look at the past. The code of silence in baseball clubhouses was threatening to become baseball’s official policy. To his credit, Commissioner Selig listened to the testimony at our hearing and recognized that baseball had a serious problem. He then did the right thing and asked Senator George Mitchell to take a hard look at baseball’s steroid era. I thank Commissioner Selig for that, and I thank Senator Mitch- ell for taking on an enormous task. Anyone who reads the Mitchell report will come to understand how difficult this challenge was. Virtually no one volunteered information to Senator Mitchell. In fact, only one active player, Frank Thomas agreed to speak with his investigators. Senator Mitchell and his staff did a superb job, but I think even they would acknowledge that their report isn’t a comprehensive accounting of the steroids scandal. If reports had epitaphs, this one’s would be: It didn’t tell us everything, but it told us enough. And what it tells us is damning. The illegal use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs was pervasive for more than a dec- ade. Major League Baseball was slow and ineffective in responding to the scandal, and the use of Human Growth Hormone has been rising. The Mitchell report also makes it clear that everyone in baseball is responsible. The owners, the commissioner, the union and the players. Despite that shared responsibility, most of the media at- tention over the past month has focused on the players. They are the face of the game, and they are the ones our kids emulate. As Chuck Kimmel, the president of the Athletic Trainers Associa- tion, recently pointed out: ‘‘Young athletes are very impressed by what their sports heroes say and do. There’s a real authority carry- over in these situations. They assume because a person is an ex- pert in one area that they’re qualified in another.’’ Our committee hasn’t had an easy experience with individual players. We have tried to be sensitive to their legitimate privacy rights and to the obvious harm this issue can do to their reputa- tion. But too often their responses to legitimate questions have been evasive or incomplete. This investigation is no different than any other that we undertake. We expect and the law requires truthful testimony. In one important instance, the Mitchell report provides new information relating to one of our previous inquiries. Three years ago, we initiated an investigation into testimony that Rafael Palmeiro provided on March 17, 2005. Mr. Palmeiro testified that he never took steroids. Several months later, he has tested positive for Winstrol, a powerful steroid. As part of that in- vestigation, we interviewed Miguel Tejada for relevant information.

  • Illegal, but Not Against the Rules Commentary by Shanin Specter OK
    August 9, 2007 Illegal, but not against the rules Commentary By Shanin Specter OK, so Barry Bonds did it. What should we think? Many believe Bonds used steroids to break Hank Aaron's home run record, but that's only a beginning point for analysis. Here's the polestar: As legendary manager John McGraw said about baseball, "The main idea is to win. " What circumscribes this creed? Only the rules of baseball. If a runner stealing second knows the fielder's tag beat his hand to the base, but the umpire calls him safe, should he stay on the base? Yes. If an outfielder traps a fly ball, can he play it as if he caught it? Yes. The uninitiated might consider this to be fraud or immoral. But some deception is part of the game. This conduct is appropriate simply because it's not forbidden by the rules. Baseball isn't golf. There's no honor code. Yankee Alex Rodriguez's foiling a pop-up catch by yelling may have been bush league, but umpires imposed no punishment. Typical retaliation would be a pitch in the ribs in the next at-bat - assault and battery in the eyes of the law, but just part of the game of baseball. Baseball has a well-oiled response to cheating. Pitchers who scuff the ball are tossed out of that game and maybe the next one, too. Players who cork bats face a similar fate. Anyone thought to be engaged in game- fixing is banned for life. No court of public opinion or law has overturned that sentence.

  • Sportsletter Interview: Shaun Assael
    SportsLetter Interviews December 2007 Volume 18, No. 6 Shaun Assael With the recent release of the Mitchell Report, the story of steroids in Major League Baseball has dominated sports coverage. The report states, “Everyone involved in baseball over the past two decades — Commissioners, club officials, the Players Association, and the players — shares to some extent in the responsibility for the steroids era. There was a collective failure to recognize the problem as it emerged and deal with it early on.” For all the hand-wringing about Major League Baseball’s mea culpa, the use of anabolic steroids and other performance- enhancing drugs has been sports’ dirty little not-so-secret for decades. In his book, “Steroid Nation: Juiced Home Run Totals, Anti-aging Miracles, and a Hercules in Every High School: The Secret History of America’s True Drug Addiction” (ESPN Books), ESPN staff writer Shaun Assael traces the culture of steroids in sports. The tale is about as long as the sub-title of the book, and Assael chronicles the many twists of this complex story. He writes about the long-forgotten “visionaries” (like Dan Duchaine, author of the “Underground Steroid Handbook”), the athletes who became caught in cycles of steroid abuse (NFL star Lyle Alzado) and the research scientists charged to nab them (UCLA’s Dr. Don Catlin). The result is a panoramic view of steroids in America — a view that echoes the Mitchell Report in placing responsibility for the spread of performance-enhancing drugs on just about everyone including the media 1 ©1996-2008 LA84 Foundation.

Although not yet operative, the text of the Article and its constituent sections is included below for the convenience of the Code user. Sec. 19O.1. Findings. Sec. 19O.2. Definitions. Sec. 19O.3. Prohibiting the Use of Tobacco Products at Athletic Venues. Sec. 19O.4. Rules and Regulations. Sec. 19O.5. Enforcement. Sec. 19O.6. Signs. Sec. 19O.7. Preemption. Sec. 19O.8. Severability. Sec. 19O.9. Undertaking for the General Welfare. Sec. 19O.10. Operative Date. SEC. 19O.1. FINDINGS. Public health authorities, including the Surgeon General and the National Cancer Institute, have found that smokeless tobacco use is hazardous to health and can easily lead to nicotine addiction. The National Cancer Institute states that chewing tobacco and snuff contain 28 cancer­causing agents and the U.S. National Toxicology Program has established smokeless tobacco as a "known human carcinogen." The National Cancer Institute and the International Agency for Research on Cancer report that use of smokeless tobacco causes oral, pancreatic, and esophageal cancer; and may also cause heart disease, gum disease, and oral lesions other than cancer, such as leukoplakia (precancerous white patches in the mouth). Youth participation in sports has many health benefits including the development of positive fitness habits, reducing obesity, and combating the epidemic of early onset diabetes.

  • 56. Baseball Moves the All Star Game
    theglobeandmail.com Baseball sheds unhurried image by swiftly moving All-Star Game from Atlanta over Georgia voting laws David Shribman 5-7 minutes Ground crews prepare the field at Sun Trust Park, now known as Truist Park, ahead of Game 3 of MLB baseball's National League Division Series between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers in Atlanta on Oct. 7, 2018. Baseball has never been in a hurry. It took decades to invite Black players into the game. Last week’s Opening Day contest between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates required four hours to play nine innings. Pitchers in this era are taking an average of 23.8 seconds between pitches – an eon when you consider that it is almost exactly half the time of an entire line shift in the National Hockey League. So it was something of a shock – and an apt measure of how the sports world today is attuned to the political world – that Major League Baseball took just a week to move its midsummer All- Star Game from Atlanta in condemnation of Georgia’s new law that critics describe as a prescription for voter suppression, especially of Black voters. It is also an acknowledgement of how social activism has moved to centre court, centre circle, centre ice, the 55-yard line, and the diamond battery – and how the cause of racial justice and baseball management’s effort to enhance its relationship with the players’ union became a perfect double-play combination. This dramatic action – requiring enormous logistical and financial adjustments for a multiday sporting extravaganza scheduled years in advance, with ripples extending to airline reservations, hotel arrangements and civic celebrations – provided baseball with a chance to make an important statement for a sport that went from 18.7-per-cent Black players in 1981 to about a third of that rate today.
