		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who thinks that these teams are signing guys to multi-million dollar contracts without any knowledge of PED use is naive. When caught, the teams pretend ignorance and feign indignation, when they have already reviewed their own tests. A regular-joe cant get a six-figure insurance policy without some intern showing up at your house giving you one of the most thorough blood analysis that you will ever have. So now these owners want us to believe that they are signing these players without any testing and due-diligence. Riiiggghht! The owners got rich by paying attention to business details. The teams dont give a damn about PEDs, and neither do I. We have lost this war. Society and sports. Time to acknowledge, adapt and keep it movin.]]></description>
