Former steroid dealer Greg Anderson coaches youth baseball

[Steroid News]

Anderson, Barry Bonds’s former personal trainer and childhood friend, is an assistant for the Capitol Electric team, a squad of 11- and 12-year-olds. Some parents of the league’s players glowed about his ability to teach the game to their sons; others wondered how he could qualify for the volunteer role.

Anderson is a convicted felon, and is accused of supplying and injecting Bonds and other elite athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.

“I wouldn’t want that person coaching my child because of his association with steroids,” said Dave Cauchi, a real estate lawyer who coaches a team in the league and who manned the scoreboard Friday.

“Just like I wouldn’t want someone associated with the distribution of marijuana or cocaine, or any controlled substance, coaching my child. I find that to be a little incongruent with what you’re trying to teach your children.”

“Oh, he gets the players in shape and is the most knowledgeable coach my son ever had,” Tim Gannon, a real estate broker, said. “Some parents have a problem with him being a coach, but it’s not like he was caught stealing or did some bad things with children. But, yes, it’s still bad, and I explained that to my son.”
[...]

Stacy Rusley, a mother of one of the players, said it was fine to have Anderson coach because the boys were never alone with him.

“The kids like him, and he’s a really friendly guy, so my husband and I don’t question it,” Rusley said. “Really, it’s kind of fun to have a celebrity coaching the team.”

"i wouldnt want that person coaching my child because of his association with steroids."... just like you wouldnt want anyone associated with tobacco or alcohol. because both are much more incidious.
"just like i wouldnt want someone associated with the distribution of marijuana or cocaine, or any controlled substance, coaching my child. i find that a litte incongruent to what your trying to teach your child." even if you never knew. but once you do. that person becomes another person. demonized. and who controls the controled. and for what. and youd be suprised as to who is using what.
"oh, he gets the players in shape and is the most knowlegeable coach my sons ever had"... "some parents have a problem with him being coach, but its not like he was caught stealing or did some bad thing with children. but yes, its still bad, and i explained this to my son." what did you explain. that cheating is bad. again. i get it. rules are made by man. these line are becoming so blurred. the list of contrand so huge. and evergrowing. whether there not on the list or not. not yet. and why test for any substance that enhances performance. as if thats a crime. mediocrity. its a shame. and im surfing. and finding out more info. wow. the idiocy. ill tredge on. but it seems uphill... like cycling. philly has the manayunk wall.
