Is baseball finally dirtier than track?

[go pre]

just wondering, because our sport has taken a lot of crap the past several years.

and to think there are still 100+ names who tested positive earlier in the decade that we don't know about.

track will always look dirtier in the press than the big 3 MLB/NBA/NFL ... otherwise there will be no need to cover us at all.

sports being dirty, cheating, steroids etc. is a fad that is on the way out, the generations coming up are of the mindset of fairplay, just do the best you can, if you win great if you lose just work harder to achieve your maximum potential, wether or not you can run faster than the next person, jump higher, throw farther etc. is not really that important. i think we are already at a point where a cheater is an aberration an anomaly, for example a person over 7 feet tall is an anomaly, sure there are people who are over 7 feet tall, but it is rare, are there still cheaters yes, but they are very rare.

No, it's been dirtier than track for a long time--much dirtier. Much more money at stake and much more lenient rules and enforcement policies. Why wouldn't it be dirtier?

Totally agree!
Are any group of so called 'athletes' more 'roid loaded then pro wreslers?

Pro bodybuilders? (if you can call that a sport)

Baseball probably less dirty because it's a sport still grounded in the 19th century that hates to try anything new.

Track is less dirty because it is a sport grounded in the 3rd Century B.C. and hates to try anything new.

Baseball and football are far dirtier than T&F for obvious reasons: they have more money and resources to acquire PEDs; PEDs are tacitly condoned all the way to the top of the institutions, and they have far more arduous seasons to have to endure. They need PEDs. Track athletes want PEDs.

Same here.

[bad hammy]

They're all dirty. Move along . . .

What? No! I am shocked.

Baseball is far dirtier. They have proven to be the dirtiest sport. Secret paneling that turned up 105 positives? How many players in the league? I think thats around 30%, we operate around 1%.
And sadder still baseballs top stars are ALL falling off, not just a few
