Three years after Major League Baseball’s commissioner declared the so-called steroid era “clearly a thing of the past,” the sport faces persistent doping problems similar to those that have crippled cycling and track and field.Also at ESPN, "Braun Suspended For Remainder of Season."
The latest baseball star-turned-culprit: Ryan Braun, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger and winner of the National League’s Most Valuable Player award in 2011. Baseball announced Monday that he had been suspended for the remainder of the season — 65 games — for violating its antidoping code.
Braun, 29, failed a drug test in 2011 but avoided punishment on appeal. This time, he was ensnared in Major League Baseball’s sweeping investigation of an anti-aging clinic in South Florida that baseball officials believe distributed performance-enhancing drugs. His punishment raises the specter of suspensions for more than a dozen other players who have been connected to the clinic, including Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees.
Braun, who will forfeit nearly half of his $8.5 million salary, said in a statement issued by the league that he would not contest the suspension — though he did not explicitly confess to doping.
“As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect,” Braun’s statement said. “I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers’ organization.”
Baseball was forced to acknowledge a pervasive doping problem when George J. Mitchell, a former majority leader of the Senate, conducted an extensive investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport. His report, published in 2007, exposed rampant use of drugs by major leaguers.
In the wake of that report, Commissioner Bud Selig strengthened baseball’s drug-testing program, created an investigative arm to pursue doping offenses and heralded a new, clean era for the sport.
Since then, about a dozen major league players have been suspended for positive tests and others have been linked to doping, indicating that baseball, like many sports in which athletes are enticed to gain a competitive edge, is having trouble removing drugs from the game. Braun’s hitting prowess enabled him to earn a contract with the Brewers that runs through 2020 and totals more than $145 million.
NOGALES, Ariz. — Lizbeth Mateo paid her tuition Sunday for Santa Clara Law School, where classes begin next month. On Monday, she paused to send the school an email.And they call these idiots "DREAMERS."
"I'm letting them know I may not make it in time," she said.
The reason for her delay: an unorthodox — and risky — protest at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mateo, 29, who was brought into the United States illegally at age 10, voluntarily flew back across the border recently in a protest aimed at recognizing the thousands of people deported from the United States over the last five years as the Obama administration has struggled to adopt a long-range program for overhauling immigration laws.
The protest Monday focused on the U.S. border station in Nogales. Mateo and two other young immigrants who had been brought into the U.S. as children asked to be admitted legally across the border they had surreptitiously traversed so many years ago and had spent much of their lives trying to avoid.
The immigration debate has focused on how a sweeping bill now in Congress might affect an estimated 11 million people who entered the country illegally or overstayed their visas. Lost in the debate, Mateo and other protesters say, are those already expelled from the country. Deportations have increased from just under 300,000 in 2007 to nearly 400,000 in 2011, according to federal statistics.
"We should not forget the people who have been deported," she said.
Monday's action quickly grew as about 30 others spontaneously joined the petitioners at the border, taking activists by surprise. Organized by the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, the immigrants planned to ask for humanitarian parole, which would allow them into the country, or, failing that, asylum.
As part of the planned protest, the trio was joined by six other immigrants who had returned to Mexico more than a year ago. The nine were questioned and transferred to a holding facility in Florence, Ariz. Activists in contact with the attorney for the youths said that they were denied humanitarian parole and that immigration officials would consider their request for asylum while holding them in Florence.
Immigration officials declined to comment on Monday's events and had said previously that people hoping to enter the country had to meet standard immigration requirements.
A warning to Los Angeles Mission College to correct a number of academic and administrative deficiencies didn't come as a great surprise to Daniel Campos.Continue reading.
The former student body president had long been frustrated with campus infighting, perceptions of cultural insensitivity and inadequate counseling and other student services.
All of these issues and others were cited recently by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges when it put the Sylmar campus on notice that it must make improvements.
"Most students in general are not aware of the impact of accrediting decisions," said Campos, who also served as student trustee for the Los Angeles Community College District. "If the college loses accreditation, I'll lose transfer credits, so I'll need to find a way to line up everything in one year in case that happens."
The warning issued to Mission is the mildest of the possible penalties. The college will remain accredited pending a follow-up report due by March 2014.
But in a raft of actions earlier this month, the panel made the rare decision to revoke accreditation from City College of San Francisco in July 2014 (the college is appealing) and issued warnings to Los Angeles Valley, Orange Coast and six other campuses. Sanctions were removed from West Los Angeles and Harbor colleges and seven other campuses.
Of California's 112 community colleges, one, College of the Sequoias in the Central Valley town of Visalia, is operating under the most serious penalty — "show cause" — meaning the college is substantially out of compliance with requirements and must correct deficiencies to remain accredited. Five other colleges are on probationary status, and 13 have been given warnings.
