Farinu Wada seemed a little arrogant and sel important, Palumbo said everything we wanted to say, only a little clumsily, Philip Sweitzer, incredible job....articulate, well educated and accurate. Gary Wadler I wanted to punch right in the face!! This Don Hooton character, endured something that no parent should ever have to endure....doesn't mean he is not a misinformed and spreading misinformation. As a matter of fact the man is doing the parents of troubled teens much more harm then good, by blaming steroids for his sons death, when depression was the boys demon.

Sorry to excessively post, but at about an 1hour 20 minutes someone in the audience asks were we draw the line with performance enhancement. He asks if teenagers having preemptive Tommy John surgery should be allowed. Mark Farrah Wada's reply is a snide sneer witch seems to imply that the questioner has just embarrassed himself with a ridiculous question. Replying in disbelief that any parent would ever let a child undergo such a procedure, that it would surely be reported on and be a story that would invoke the public's outrage. Half right Mark, such a story does warrant an article, just not the sensationalism that went along with your steroid story attached to a big name athlete. It's amazing the hypocrisy this reporter as well as the general public shows. This search took me about ten seconds on Google.....and I think we can contribute it to a pretty reputable source....the NY Times...
