Title:
Baseball Columnist for Newsday
Position:
Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should Performance-Enhancing Drugs Be Accepted in Sports?"
Reasoning:

“Name a single [Major League Baseball] player, let’s say from 1984 through 2007, that never once experimented with PEDs, or leaned on them to speed up the rehab process, or dabbled to get some extra kick during a contract year.

Problem is, you can’t.”
