Steinbrenner: Baseball singled out
Steinbrenner: 為什麼只說棒球

Hank Steinbrenner insists baseball is being picked on for its trouble with
performance-enhancing drugs, and claims the problem is bigger in football.
Hank Steinbrenner說對於增強力量表現的藥物上, 大家太挑剔棒球了, 這問題在美
式足球上更嚴重.

"I don't like baseball being singled out," the Yankees senior vice president
said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Monday night.
“我很討厭大家只挑剔棒球”,週一晚上Hank在電話中對記者這樣說.

"Everybody that knows sports knows football is tailor-made for performance-
enhancing drugs. I don't know how they managed to skate by. It irritates me.
Don't tell me it's not more prevalent. The number in football is at least
twice as many. Look at the speed and size of those players."
“懂運動的人都馬知道美式足球才是都用生長激素的, 我不知道他們怎麼管理的, 我
很賭爛, 別跟我說這不普遍, 打美式足球的用藥人數起碼是打棒球的兩倍以上, 看看
那些打美式足球的速度跟肌肉size就知道了.

Answered NFL spokesman Greg Aiello: "We've had year-round random testing with
immediate suspensions since 1990 and we conduct approximately 12,000 steroids
tests a year."
NFL發言人Greg回應說, “從1990來, 我們每年都隨機作藥物測試, 一年類固醇的測試
大約就有一萬兩千次耶”

Steinbrenner's comments came after Andy Pettitte met with reporters for the
first time since the Yankees pitcher was named in the Mitchell Report. Two
days after the report was released in December, Pettitte confirmed he used
human growth hormone in 2002; two weeks ago, he told congressional
investigators he also used HGH for one day in 2004.
當Pettitte在名字被列在Mitchell報告後跟記者碰面後, Hank就做出了這各發言. 報導
出來的兩天後, Pettittte就證實了他在2002有用過人類生長激素, 兩週後, 他也跟國會
調查員說在04年他有天也用了HGH.

"A lot of baseball people thought that baseball would be the last sport that
it would be a problem in and probably just ignored it too long," Steinbrenner
said. "But the fact is it's been in football a long time and it's been in
basketball, I'm sure. Why baseball is being singled out, I don't know. I don't
know. I know all the excuses -- `Well, it's America's game and it's the
statistics.'
“很多打棒球的都說棒球會是最後一各被捲入藥品濫用問題的運動, 只是大家忽略太久
了”Hank說, “但事實是這問題在美式足球更久了, 我想籃球也一樣, 幹嘛大家只提棒球
, 我不懂, 太不懂了, 我知道所有的藉口—就是, [ㄟ..這是美國的國民運動, 這是統計
出來的數字] “

"That's not an excuse. If a sport is riddled with it, it's riddled with it.
Why aren't they looking at the NFL?" he said.
Hank繼續說”這不是藉口, 如果一各運動充滿了這問題, 就是那樣了, 幹嘛他們不看
看美式足球?”

Steinbrenner said baseball will "clean up the game." "We're going to do it," he said.
Hank最後說”我們會讓比賽乾淨點, 已經在做了”
