Now, the issue of the use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs will really become a big-time issue. We'll be openly wondering if Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies and Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals have been using undetectable performance-enhancing drugs this year.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg, as the old saying goes. We could see this investigation end up encompassing all professional sports with pretty ugly publicity for everyone involved. Can you imagine what would happen if professional US sports leagues--under new laws passed by Congress--adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency standard of two years' ban for first offense and lifetime ban for second offense? 
It could literally wipe out many sports teams here in the USA, to say the least.

We'll be openly wondering if [...] Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals ha[s] been using undetectable performance-enhancing drugs this year.
I believe Albert when he says they can test him every day and will find nothing. Don't forget ... every once in a while a natural athlete comes along who works extraordinarily hard at his game. I believe Albert is one of those.

You mean our heroes would actually stoop to using performance enhancers just so they can continue to make $15 million a year? Tsk, tsk!
Turn off the TV, dump the season tickets. You'll live.

We'll be openly wondering if Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies and Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals have been using undetectable performance-enhancing drugs this year. Howard seems an unlikely candidate. Clemens is no surprise - a 45 year old guy who is as durable and strong as him makes you wonder...
