'Major League Baseball Has a Cocaine Problem'

The bad cocaine I did was cheap and if you knew me you would swear I would get addicted to the stuff, but I didn't. I never had anything that would come close to getting me jail time, let alone serious jail time.

So kids, do cheap cocaine and don't buy anything more than what you are going to use in the next few hours.

 

This is why I come here for advice.

 

The blow I used back in the late '70s and early '80s was always good, but usually cost $80/gram, which made it cost prohibitive for someone of my means to get too caught up. I was relieved to be "settled down" a few years later when much-more-affordable crack was destroying people's lives.

 

You could get 8-balls on East Hendricks Street in Roswell for 80 bucks in 2002. Or so the story goes.

 

Reminded me of this:

 

Nobody answered the question about Ron Washington. He tested positive for cocaine in 2010, so MLB was certainly testing for it then. Or was Washington "management" and thus exempt from the CBA?

Management has a different set of drug-testing rules than the ones for players on 40-man rosters that were negotiated by Major League Baseball and the players’ association.

For management employees who test positive for cocaine and other recreational drugs — as opposed to steroids and performance-enhancing drugs — treatment is mandatory and decisions on discipline are made by the team and MLB on a case by case basis.
