File under nothing new under the sun. This article has it all. A reference to "male hormone lozenges", a reference to the need for a player's union, and a complaint that players today are just too soft.
In thinking about it a bit more. I don't know if this is an oblique reference to PED's or if it is a reference to the players needing more, umm, cojones.

That was a fascinating link. Some of the other articles are interesting to read as well.
