Lethbridge AB - CBL commissioner James Wesley today announced that a federal task force led by Deputy Prime Minister Shelia Copps was ordered to search into the alleged scandal in the Canadian Baseball League over rampant steroid use in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Prime Minister Paul (I dunno where the money is) Martin demanded the investigation after the previous allegations rose to the surface and because his favorite team the Ottawa Milkmen were trailing the Drummondville Doughboys in the standings.
A Warrant was issued last night to search the premises of the Pump and Go athletic center in Moose Jaw SK. Which is owned by the former announcer for the Moose Jaw Gamblers in the early years of the CBL. Jack U. Upp but was fired for shady dealings with opposing team's star players. Jack U. Upp was issued a warrant and ordered to testify in front of the inquiry about his dealings and possible sales of steroids to CBL players.
Also being asked to testify are five of the games greats from the CBL past and present. North Beville, Hayden Revelez, Keegan Moers, Kris Nunn, and Johnathen Sarrett have all been ordered to appear but no charges appear to be forthcoming to these player
The Commissioner released the following pre written statement to the press. "We in the Canadian Baseball League are shocked and dismayed over the allegations that Mr. Upp had been selling steroids to certain players in our league. The CBL has at no time ever condoned the use of any illegal drugs or narcotics, and is certain that no fault can be attributed to the league." When asked if drug testing would take place in the CBL the Commissioner replied "No comment at this time" and left the offices to the airport to attend the hearings.
