Passan: Enough with WADA’s phony warnings to MLB

In a press release disguised as a concerned letter, WADA president John Fahey chastised MLB and the players’ association for not using blood testing to detect human growth hormone. Nowhere did Fahey mention that the reliability of these tests remains in question six years after WADA first suggested their use. Nor did Fahey admit the organization’s real motivation: to leverage MLB into fattening WADA’s coffers with its multimillion-dollar-a-year testing program.

... WADA blitzed the public with half-truths, knowing full well that if any sport dare argue, it would look like it was trying to hide something. An organization full of blowhards and self-important ninnies became the standard bearer in drug testing by using that scare tactic, and now, sadly, its hollow principles exist not for the good of sport but itself. No wonder WADA is so tight with the Olympic movement. They get off on the same self-serving values.
