The newest performance enhancer

With all the recent hubbub about steroids in professional and college sports another performance enhancer has recently come out on the market. After five years in the making, Nike and Bausch and Lomb have come out with performance enhancing contacts. For the "speed sports" they are amber colored and restrict the amount of blue that one can see so that baseball players can see the stitches on the ball better. They also invented a gray-green lens that helps golfers differentiate between the shades of green on the course.

Several players have been fitted and some are even wearing them in the games. The ones who are wearing the new lenses have seen an improvement in performance (placebo or the real thing?). I would just like to say that all the Cardinals players that have been offered to try out this new product have been skeptical and have turned down the offer. Go Cards for being about natural talent...and they are in 1st place in the central division.

The whole article is very interesting...take 5 minutes and read it.
