Mark McGwire News Worthy and Tiger Woods Not?
The truth has finally came out and now Mark McGwire admits to using steroids. He was taking these performance enhancing drugs while him and Sammy Sosa could not miss on a fast ball and knocking it over the wall at some Major League park. I’m sure most of us expected this and many want to know why now? Perhaps it’s to help his chances with the baseball hall of fame or maybe the man just wanted to come clean. Anytime the name Barry Bonds gets brought up, it quickly becomes a steroid conversation and I guess the same was true for Mark McGwire. Maybe he thinks his admission will help him here and that’s the reason McGwire admitted to taking steroids.
Most people still don’t get baseball and if you think Mark McGwire or Barry Bonds is not good baseball players; then think again! Before you throw these two legends under the bus, let’s keep in mind another athlete that drugs has came to the surface and he too is at the top of the sports world. Ever wondered what made Tiger Woods hit the ball so far? Obviously Tiger Woods and his recent accident that showed different types of narcotics in his system is not too far off from the steroid game. It’s only natural to think Tiger Woods took steroids and he is probably laying down the clubs now, because he probably fears a drug investigation on his great golf play. He obviously knows a way to beat the drug tests and how many people are aware of a strict PGA drug test anyways? I’m sure Tiger’s biggest fears right now is for his steroid-use to make public headlines and one person out there could help this to surface. The former Mrs. Woods has to be pretty mad at Tiger and she probably holds a few of the cards when it comes to linking the great Tiger Woods with steroids or other performance enhancing drugs.
After Tiger Wood’s accident, he was clearly on prescription medications. The accident didn’t knock him unconscious. He was in that state from the use of drugs that has been cleverly keep quiet to this point. Stories have emerged of his name being prescribed narcotics, but for some reason the police in Florida did not think Tiger’s drug use was that important. Florida police went a step further and said no evidence of a fight or assault ever took place on the grounds of Tiger Wood’s home. I guess they bought the golf club through the window story too; where Mrs. Woods was using a golf club to break the window and get her cheating Tiger out. Even though photos clearly show that no damage was done to the driver’s side door and if Tiger wasn’t on drugs, he could have simply open the door himself.
Now let’s compare golf with baseball. Golf is a sport where the ball just sits there and golfers give it their best hack. A good aim or stroke is important and then the ability to muster up enough strength to hit the ball. The person that drives the ball the furthest on each swing has the greatest chances to win. In baseball you have a human trying to deceive the hitter with different pitches. Some are off-speed pitches, some are fastballs, some are curve balls, and the list goes on and on on how pitchers try to fool the hitters. Regardless of how strong you are or how fast you are, it still takes a tremendous amount of ability to actually hit the pitch. Steroids can only go so far in helping a Major League baseball player hit for a higher average or hit for more home runs. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire have talent and these guys were going to hit home runs with or without steroids. Maybe they got more distance on their homers by the use of steroids. Maybe a dozen fly balls a year, that should have been caught on the warning track, flew out of the park due to steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. The bottom-line is that Mark McGwire had talent and his drug use could only help him so much.
That isn’t the case with Tiger Woods. Golf is a much different sport and steroids for a golfer is a lot better; than it would be for a baseball player. I hope no golf fans really think Tiger is a naturally gifted golfer. Tiger Woods has clearly used steroids or performance enhancing drugs to become the star he is today. Now that we have learned about his narcotics-use, there is no telling how far Tiger’s drug dependencies go. Many think Tiger will return to golf later this year. One guy from ESPN said late March. I don’t see where he is getting his information from. I think Tiger Woods has a drug problem and his recent troubles has only caused his drug-use to go up. Don’t be surprised to see Tiger checking into a rehab clinic pretty soon. Actually you should be surprised, because Tiger would never let that become public knowledge. He has managed to keep his steroids under the radar, but I think Mark McGwire being front page news now will help others put 2 & 2 together and we can yell “FOUR” like we never have before. Tiger Woods has cheated the PGA, his fellow golfers, his wife, his fans, and the high dollar sponsors. Even though some sponsors still support his drug use and driving while on drugs. Not to mention the lies and adultery these sponsors support like Nike and others. Let’s change these Mark McGwire headlines and replace his name with Tiger Woods for the performance enhancing drugs, so we can kill this topic off for good.
