    If your crack’s from Otis Nixon, then your pipe could use some fixin’.

    Nixon, 54, had a crack pipe in his pocket and a crack rock in his vehicle when he was stopped on I-575 early Saturday, according to a Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office reported obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    A 911 caller reported a red Dodge Ram pickup truck driving erratically on I-575 north shortly after midnight and a deputy was dispatched and pulled the truck over, the report states. A state trooper ...

    Anyone who uses PED's should be permabanned on the first offense. Anything else just encourages PED use.

    Not strong enough - what about their team-mates who benefited from their tainted play? And knew about it but hid their knowledge?

    I say also permaban anybody who ever played with the player who fails the test.

    ban anyone who has ever HEARD of PEDs

    (and anyone who knows Lance Armstrong personally)

    Not funny. PED's are a very serious problem.

    Yes. Who could deny the dozens of studies showing the very serious dangers that result from controlled PED use...

    Anyone caught should be executed at home plate before the next game. That'll show 'em!

    Wait, post #1 wasn't humor? It really is hard to "hear" the tone of some posts I guess.

    I'll try to fit finding a solution into my busy schedule of not giving a #### about PEDS.

    Why don't the Very Serious People ever bother the NFL about this crap? They use more drugs in a week than MLB does in a year.

    Because the vast majority of NFL players are pretty much by definition livestock, or at least regarded as such?

    Yes, but when I buy cheese the package has a little note saying that the cattle weren't given any growth hormones. You don't get that note on offensive linemen.

    10 is RDF.

    I support a much wider drug testing program in baseball. The ownership, the GMs, umpires, the commissioner, let's make sure we're sending an unequivocal message to the kids.

    Apparently, no one feels like lying about offensive linemen.

    I'm all for it. I will support a measure to test members of BBWAA for drug testing, if they pop positive for anything, they lose the right to vote/write for 1 year, second offense 5 years, third offense permanent ban.

    I wonder how many newspapers conduct employee drug testing? It was a condition of being hired when I started here in Montgomery, 11 years ago; it hadn't been in Little Rock, though of course that could certainly have changed in the interim.

    As to whether any tests are ever given after an employee is on board (absent supposed cause, I guess, like DWIs or whatever), I have no idea. Wasn't at the paper here long enough to gain any sense of that.

    Many places require a test before getting hired. Not the same thing as MLB which has ongoing testing (unless of course your paper required ongoing testing, in which case, never mind).

    Maybe we can send Sammy Sosa to collect Rick Reilly's sample.

    Agreed. We need people to take this seriously.

    Anybody who jokes about PEDs should be permabanned from attending baseball games.

    I was once given a form for a drug test in my new hire packet. I ignored it and never heard about it. I would have passed, but I'm not sure what being a software developer for a consumer-facing web application has to do with my recreational drug use.

    I mean, I'm pretty sure that the test wasn't to make sure that I _did_ do drugs, as you want a certain % of your software developers to be that exploratory adventurous type.
