The Sports Truth

From baseball to football to soccer to cycling, a proverbial Direct TV sports package in terms of extensive scope, it seems as if no realm of athletics is above the influence of performance enhancing drugs. The depths to which steroid use has penetrated the culture of sport in this country still may not be fully grasped by the average fans, despite the best tell-all efforts of renowned authors and journalists such as Jose Canseco. Though perhaps in retrospect, we should remove the sarcasm from the previous sentence, as in the wake of muscle-bound madness perhaps Canseco is actually one of the few ahead of his time minds who truly understands the permeation of drug culture in professional sports.The recent news of Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi testing positive for a banned substance while playing in Turkey’s Fenerbahnce basketball league, brings into question whether anyone is truly within the perceived limits of fair play. While Taurasi tested positive Modafinil, which for the record is neither a recreational drug nor a steroid, the stimulant has come under harsh scrutiny by regulatory doping agencies, famously resulting in US sprinter Kelli White being stripped of her 2003 World Championship medals and more recently American cyclist’s two year suspension from competition earlier this year.

The year 2010 may have been a great year for sports, what it was not, however, was a great year for sports marriages. May the coming year bring more matrimonial bliss to the athletes we love to watch and the women they love to love (well, the ones the public knows about). On the bright side, it seems as if more eligible females are returning to the marketplace for all you eligible men out there with sub-4.5 40 times, silky smooth jumpers, rocket-launching arms and refined short games. In this annual recap, we’ll take at a look at the ladies on the prowl and those more likely to be officially un-caged than one might have guessed just 12 months ago.Elin Nordegren You can’t talk about the 2010 year in sports without a mention of the epic Tiger Woods sexcapades, resulting in a multimultimillion (not a typo) dollar divorce settlement.

Before their high profile celebrity wedding, Eva was a bona fide Hollywood star in her own right, most famous for her lead role in the popular TV show Desperate Housewives. Continue Reading…

Josh Luchs, not just your average real estate agent. The current house-seller used to sell dreams to college to kids, trying to make it to the NFL and all that it entails, not just football but a lifestyle. Recently in the tell-all Sports Illustrated article about his time paying players at the collegiate level, Luchs named names and dished juicy gossip, why come out now? His kids, according to Luchs. Not to say sorry for defrauding the system, after all, Luchs was one of many agents with his checkbook out according to his story, though he does express an appreciation for his switch to a cleaner practice later in his career, but apparently Luchs confessional is a saving grace effort to salvage his good name. Decertified as an agent by the NFL Players Association for an offense far less egregious than those he claims took place in his book, Luchs would rather vindicate his position on a smaller issue even if it means sinking a much bigger ship. He wants his kids to know there father as an honest man who provided for his family the best he could, and in the end an honest man. The question remains? Can we believe Luchs or he is he what Jose Conseco was to professional baseball, an exaggerating (notice the word choice as opposed to “full of sht”) whistleblower.In this opinion, yes. While Luchs’ reasoning may be less altruistic than he lets on, perhaps driven by revenge more so than the sake of his offspring, as far as the seedy underworld sports agents goes, there is at least a healthy degree of truth here. Just look at the reaction SI got on follow up to the story (from the article):

• Greg Townsend confirmed the details of his relationship with Luchs.
• Carl Greenwood, Othello Henderson, Matt Soenksen, Chris Alexander, Bruce Walker, Jonathan Ogden and Singor Mobley confirmed receiving money or extra benefits from Luchs.
• R. Jay Soward confirmed receiving money from Luchs. Continue Reading…
