Summary
WASHINGTON, July 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- After getting the boot from the Olympics, baseball needs to heed the cue on anti-drug penalties, and Congress should move forward with legislation, former White House National Drug Control Policy spokesman Bob Weiner argued today.
Weiner, who also directed media outreach for the World Anti- Doping Agency at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and White House Drug Policy media at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, asserted in an op- ed today, "Baseball Thrown Out of the Game", in DC's new The Examiner, "While everyone in our region is abuzz that the Nationals are in first place at the All Star Break, it is a shame that baseball will no longer be on the world stage. They've been thrown out of their own game. No changes for drug testing methods or penalties in Major League Baseball has finally cost the sport its place in the Olympics. The IOC this week dropped baseball from competition, with many IOC members citing its miserable drug record."See the full content of this document
