A paper gangster that even Diddy could look up to.
One of the most bad-ass figures in sports announced his retirement yesterday: Donald Fehr, the longtime head of the Major League Baseball Player’s Association has decided to hang up his spikes, and chances are the MLBPA will be worse off for his absence.
In his 25-plus-year tenure, while other leagues adopted management-friendly policies like salary caps and saw their unions get broken, Fehr presided over the strongest player’s association in sports using four words: “no,” “no,” and “hell no.” Sure, one of his biggest “no”s backfired (steroids), but his constituents saw their salaries skyrocket under his watch (even if their balls shrank). Take a look back at Fehr’s Biggest Power Moves…

Sammy Sosa was on the juice?!? WHAT?!?
You might want to sit down, because we’ve got some earth-shattering news: Yesterday, the New York Times reported that retired slugger Sammy Sosa tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in MLB’s anonymous 2003 survey. WHAT?!? SAMMY SOSA USED STEROIDS?!? WHO KNEW?!? (Anybody who has eyes and a basic understanding of logic.) Steroid sleuths are needlessly spending time and money to expose athletes who we could tell used performance-enhancing drugs just by looking at them. Sure, it’s nice to catch these cheats in their lies, but do we really need snitches and needles with PEDs and cells from players’ ass cheeks to confirm what we all suspect?
Normal human beings don’t begin resembling Marvel superheroes just because they spent three months going hard in the weight room. In honor of Sammy Sosa’s public outing, Complex looks back at baseball’s most obviously juiced players who we still had to expose for some reason. Check out the adjacent before-steroids, after-steroids photos, ’cause you can’t beat that with a baseball bat!

From Sly Stallone to Hulk Hogan, it’s kinda crazy that so many of our '80s childhood heroes were actually juice junkies. Sure, 'roids are all the rage now, with all the scandals surrounding baseball’s biggest names, but the controversial hormones have a deep-seeded history in America.
The new documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (which opens Friday in select theatres) examines America’s obsession with being brolic at any cost. Told through the eyes of director Christopher Bell (a former writer for the WWE) and his two steroid-swigging brothers, the movie looks at the big issue by showing how society’s expectations have effected his own family. Watch the trailer below.
