The other day at work I said we were “in the trenches.” Whoops. I guess I better apologize.

Perhaps not for life, but sports punishments for cheating are absurd. Tatis lost less than 1% ($2.9/340M) of his future earnings for his cheating scandal. I’d rather leagues stop testing at all, versus only catching a small proportion of the offenders at random and the flipping a coin to decide on a punishment.

Unless you’re going to save urine samples and back-test them 5+ years in the future, anti doping orgs cannot effectively detect most newer compounds being used for doping.

I’d assume many athletes cheat because there is such an incentive, but getting caught cheating is the inherent risk to cheating, and she doesn’t get a pass for being dumber than others.

So what’s the suggestion? We cannot send psychologists to domestic violence calls. We obviously cannot ignore the calls either. You could argue for more police training, but there are plenty of good arguments against increasing police budgets.
