    MLB An Interesting read on 19th century PED use

    Baseball Researcher: A Nineteenth Century Performance-Enhancing Drug?
    From a small beginning a tempest has arisen, which bids fair to end only when the question shall have been decided as to the rights of players in regard to utilizing scientific methods for adding to their dynamic value during the progress of ball games.

    This final paragraph is astonishingly prescient, foreshadowing issues facing Major League Baseball over a century later.
    Just an extremely interesting read. I wasn't even aware of the Temple Cup.
