WADA wants MLB to test effectively for HGH; Olympic-style drug testing for Mayweather-Mosley fight; Huge new Toyota sign for Wrigley Field?
March 19, 2010
Should WADA be telling Major League Baseball what to do?
Says WADA president, John Fahey, “We continue to read statements from the MLB commissioner and MLBPA representatives questioning the appropriateness of implementing blood testing in their league. This is nonsense. The blunt reality is that a number of doping substances and methods, including HGH, are currently detectable only through blood testing.”
Olympic-style drug testing agreed to for Mayweather-Mosley fight
Unannounced urine and blood testing before and after the event will screen for all drugs banned by WADA. This goes well beyond the requirements of the Nevada Athletic Commission, and the fighters hope that they are setting a new standard for the sport.

A 16 x 21 foot Toyota sign over the left field bleachers at Wrigley Field?
The legal issue: Since venerable Wrigley has landmark status, the Department of Zoning has to determine whether or not the proposed sign "affects the nature" of the ballpark.
It's Friday; the NCAA tournament is in full swing. Seems that lately we have had a lot on drug testing, WADA, and appeals of suspensions. Well, today is no different, so bear with us and next week other issues will crowd out drug testing.
